Safety is the most important parameter while developing a modern vehicle. A vehicle capable of high acceleration must decelerate quickly as well. Disc brakes are used in modern vehicles to reduce stopping distance. On application of brakes, the disc is subjected to thermal & structural stresses. The brakes fail to slow down or stop the vehicle if they become too hot. In this study, we attempt to understand the existing disc brake rotors in use in the automobile industry and improve on their design in order to enhance heat dissipation. The currently used disc brakes are studied to understand their design. This knowledge is further used to design a useful disc brake. The aim of this paper is to improve heat transfer rate by designing disc rotors and selecting suitable material.
