  • Abstract:
  • the ventilated brake disk is the cutting-edge technology in automotive braking systems. Brake disk performance is known to be impacted by the rate at which heat is released by forced convection. Significant heat stress from the brake disk's rapid rise and fall could cause a catastrophic breakdown. By changing the geometrical properties of cross-drilled holes, the current study seeks to assess the possible increases in heat transmission in vented brake disks. Nearly 26 kg of the wheel assembly's weight is attributed to the brake rotor. While most research focuses on changing the brake rotor's material, not much has been done to enhance its design without sacrificing performance. Additionally, the study offers a method for lowering the weight of drilled type braking rotors without sacrificing or significantly lowering performance. We built a standard drilled cast iron brake rotor for this project and conducted structural and thermal analyses. Topology, which involved analysing the unwanted material that could be removed without affecting the rotor's performance, was conducted using the results that were obtained.
