This paper presents the fatigue and thermal analysis for different types of brake discs using the finite element method.
The solid model and thermal analyses of ventilated disc brakes was performed using SolidWorks Computer Assisted Design
software and for the fatigue analyses it was used specialized software for finite element analysis Autodesk Simulation
Mechanical. Was investigated three materials Cast Iron, which is the common used material, AISI 316 Steel and Aluminium
1060 Alloy
