Brake Disc Analysis With The Help Of Ansys Software

Janvijay Pateriya

There is a 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 doesn'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 vehicles. Manufacturers use disc of steel which has short life span and the weight is bulky near the tire. If disc loses its shape wobbling can cause 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 have been taken and plotted in three dimensions on solid works. Materials like Al-ni-co & titanium alloy have been selected for analysis to compare it with existing material. 3D model has been imported into 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. A static analysis calculates the effects of steady loading conditions on a structure, while ignoring inertia and damping effects, such as those caused by time-varying loads. A static analysis can, however, include steady inertia loads (such as gravity and rotational velocity), and time-varying loads that can be approximated as static equivalent loads. Static analysis is probably the most common application of finite element method the term structural (structure) implies not only civil engineering structures such as bridges & buildings, but also naval, aeronautical and mechanical structures such as ship hulls, aircraft bodies, & machine housing, such as piston machine parts & tools. as well as mechanical component loads in static analysis Static analysis is used to determine the displacements, stresses, strains, and forces in structures or components caused by loads that do not induce significant inertia and damping effects. Steady loading and response conditions are assumed; that is, the loads and the structure's response are assumed to vary slowly with respect to time.
