Abstract: The primary goal of this research is to investigate the thermo mechanical behavior of the brake disc during the braking period. Brakes must be used continuously, thus several concerns surround their heating characteristics when it comes to development, such as contact region attributes, material selection, and the development of hot spots, associated physical geometry, and deformations. The coupled thermal-structural analysis is used to calculate disc deformation and Von Misses stress in order to improve rotor disc plate performance and life. A comparison of analytical calculations and findings from Finite Element Analysis (ANSYS) is performed, and the values produced from the analysis are within the permitted range. The experiment was carried out using several disc-geometries. Based on the findings of the experiments, we ran an ANSYS simulation of the disc brake. As a result, based on the performance, strength, and stiffness parameters, the most suited optimal design is offered. We did an ANSYS simulation of the disc brake based on the results of the experiments. As a result, the most suitable ideal design is suggested based on the performance, strength, and stiffness factors.
