Abstract
There is a impressive shift in technology from transmission system to braking system in today's changing automotive market. From the point of view of performance as well as safety the braking system is regarded as one of the most critical systems. Disc brake is the latest development in automotive vehicles that dissipates the heat more quickly than traditional drum brakes. The key advantage of the disc brake is that the friction material i.e. the caliper is in contact with just a small portion of the surface. Therefore the disc has a large surface area that can dissipate the heat into the atmosphere. In this paper static stress analysis of disc brake made up of magnesium metal matrix composites, is conducted using finite element analysis. The disc model was developed in solidworks software and imported to Ansys workbench for analysis. Structural analysis is used to determine the deformation and von misses stress established in the disc.
