BRAKE DISC ANALYSIS WITH THE HELP OF ANSYS SOFTWARE

There is lot of upgrade in the technology of the automobile these days. Competition on the speed of vehicles going on in the market. But also this speed leads to accidents if vehicle don’t stop on time. Disc brakes in the vehicles give much better performance compare to drum to stop the vehicle also the heat generated during braking force can be easily dissipated as disc brakes are open to atmosphere. But the main problem is with the material used in the disc brakes in some vehicle. Manufacturers use disc of steel which have short life span and the weight is bulky near the tire. If disc loses its shape wobbling can caused near the tire causing a big problem. The main motto of this thesis is to improve the strength of the disc by taking various materials for analysis. The design has been taken from real world. Dimensions of Santro Xing car has been taken and plotted in three dimensions on solid works. Materials like Al-ni-co & titanium alloy has been selected for analysis to compare it with existing material. 3D model has been imported on analysis to analyze the stresses produced in the disc brake and to check the deformation occurred in the disc after applying the boundary conditions. After all the analysis comparison has been made and a result has been concluded for the best material with good strength.
