Transient Thermal and Structural Analysis of Indian Two-Wheeler Disc Brakes

Abstract

Brakes have huge importance on a bike with regards to safety. Proper structural sturdiness and superior heat dissipating capabilities provide better performance while braking and longevity to the system. Transient thermal and structural analysis of four Indian two-wheeler disc brakes is completed by using ANSYS 2021 R2 student version software. The comparison results provide comprehensive insight into the thermal and structural characteristics of all four-disc rotors used in the industry. A comparative conclusion with respect to performance of each disc rotor in the respective components of the analysis like, temperature, heat-flux, total deformation and equivalent stress analysis is presented in this paper.
