Thermal and Structural Analysis Using Fea on Pillar Vains Type Ventilated Disc Brake Rotor

Safety aspect in automotive engineering has been considered as a number one priority in development of new vehicle. Each single system has been studied and developed in order to meet safety requirement. Instead of having good suspension systems, Air bags, good handling and safe cornering, there is one most critical system in the vehicle which is brake systems. Without brake system in the vehicle will put a passenger in unsafe position. Therefore, it is must for all vehicles to have proper brake system. For the purpose of safety and increased life cycle of the disc brakes this paper deals with the design modification of a disc break so as to produce better thermal and structural performance.
