LITERATURE REVIEW Abstract - A brake is a mechanism that applies resistance through friction to a rotating disk in order to decrease or halt the movement of a vehicle. When braking, the contact between the disk and brake pads generates frictional heat, resulting in elevated temperatures. The excessive heat on the surface of the rotor can cause various undesired effects, including thermal elastic instability (TEI), premature wearing, and thermally induced vibrations (TEV). In this project, we examine the thermal and static structural characteristics of the brake disk rotor, comparing the use of Titanium alloy (Ti 550) and the conventional Stainless-Steel material. The analysis is performed in the ANSYS R 19.2 software through finite element modeling of the disc brake rotor in CREO PARAMETRIC 5.0. Ultimately, a comparison is made between the conventional stainless steel and Ti 550 materials, evaluating the magnitude of Von Mises stresses, temperature distribution, and deformation based on the coupled thermal analysis.

Ali Belhocine and Oday Ibrahim Abdullah et. al. (2021) The study used numerical simulations to analyse the behaviour of three brake disc materials. It included 3D thermal analysis to understand heat distribution and a comparative analysis to identify the best material for optimal vehicle braking. Results were visualized using a thermomechanical model to draw conclusions. [1] Srushti Newase, Pradnya Kosbe et. al. (2021)- This research aims to analyze the thermal properties of vented disc brake rotors for Mahindra Bolero. The goal is to find materials for the brake rotors and pads that can effectively dissipate heat generated during braking, while ensuring structural safety.[2] Adarsh Bhat et. al. (2021)- This project analyses the advantages of disc brakes over drum brakes in terms of stopping distance, heat dissipation, and more. While drum brakes have cost benefits, research aims to improve disc brake designs and materials to reduce deformation and improve thermal characteristics.[3]

1.INTRODUCTION

Aakash Jawla, Rahul Anand, Shobhit Agarwal et. al. (2020)- This study uses thermal analysis to investigate the performance of stainless-steel materials in disc brake design, focusing on heat generation during braking and resulting thermal stress. SolidWorks and ANSYS Workbench are used for analysis. The findings will contribute to understanding disc brake thermal behaviour and material selection for improved performance.[4]

Brakes play a vital role in ensuring the safety of vehicles by slowing down or stopping the rotation of wheels. This is achieved by applying brake pads on both surfaces of a rotor or disc, which creates mechanical force to halt the wheel's motion. Brakes are an indispensable component for safe vehicle operation as they convert the car's kinetic energy into heat energy, thereby reducing its speed.

1.1 Disc Brake

Sanket Darekar, Ajinkya Dhage et. al. (2020)- The project designs the disc brake of Bajaj Pulsar 220F with 3D models in CATIA software, and analyses the temperature distribution during braking using ANSYS Workbench. The study compares various disc brake models to select an optimized design based on analysis results.[5]

A disc brake mechanism consists of a robust circular plate affixed to the wheel hub and an immovable housing for the caliper. The housing is linked to a stationary component of the vehicle and encompasses two compartments that contain pistons. Friction-inducing pads, secured by retaining pins and spring plates, are positioned between the pistons and the circular plate. The caliper incorporates passages for fluid flow, enabling the entry and exit of fluid in each compartment while facilitating the process of bleeding. Each cylinder features a sealing ring made of rubber that is situated between the piston and the cylinder.
