Abstract
The ventilated disc brake is divided into a disc with several vents, and the pads with the three dimensional geometry. The frictional heat can cause high temperature during the braking process. The thermal distortion of the brake disc can affect the performance of brake system. The object of present work is determination of temperature distribution and thermal distortion in the disc by two dimensional thermal analysis. During brake, heat flux and convective transfer coefficient are considered as a function of time.
