Abstract

Brakes are compulsory systems that are used to slow a vehicle’s speed down or used to bring a vehicle to a complete halt. The aim of this report is to determine if increasing the ventilation in a combination disc brake rotor, will make it more durable than the grooved disc brake rotor due to increased heat dissipation or render it weaker. Observations of the simulations obtained identified that the disc rotors experienced different stress concentrations and displacements. The inner filleted race below the rotor hat on both disc designs had the greatest values of stress recorded. The grooved disc brake experienced a maximum stress of 56.043MPa and the combination disc brake experienced a maximum stress of 62.371MPa with the largest exerted load of 35KN. The grooved disc brake experienced a maximum temperature of 1216.oC and a maximum heat flux of 1.5042 x 106 W/m2. The combination disc brake experienced a maximum temperature of 1067.1 oC and a total heat flux of 1.3548 x 106 W/m2. The combination of drilled and grooved may have experienced slightly higher stress values but e lower temperature readings under a load and is considered the better design.
