The main conclusions drawn from the program of work
reported in this paper are as follows.
Thermal analysis is carried out for the
application of braking force because of friction
for the time duration of 4 seconds.
The maximum temperature obtained in grey
cast iron rotor disc is at rubbing surface & is
observed to be 167.56 ˚c.
The grey cast iron rotor disc is safe based on
strength & stability criteria.
To achieve a best combination of parameters of
rotor disc like size, type & materials, & thermal
analysis for 5 different material combinations
were done & results were validated using digital
logic & fracture analysis method.
