Abstract
This paper deals with the transient thermal analysis of brake disc of Variable Braking Force (VBF) system using computer software ANSYS. Generally, brake system is designed to apply frictional resistance to stop the vehicle. In VBF system the frictional resistance applied to the brake disc can be varied by changing the effective disc radius based on the pillion load. The rotor disc is commonly manufactured using cast iron (CI) or stainless steel (SS). In this work, these materials are taken for analysing the temperature distribution of VBF system. In addition to, an effort has been made here to suggest the best suited material for brake disc. By the way, it is evident that the rise in disc surface temperature is higher for VBF system compared with conventional system (constant effective disc radius (r) = 110mm).
