Summary:The objective of this study is to analyse the thermal behaviour of the full and ventilated brake discs of the vehicles using computing code ANSYS. The modelling of the temperature distribution in the disc brake is used to identify all the factors and the entering parameters concerned at the time of the braking operation such as the type of braking, the geometric design of the disc and the used material. The numerical simulation for the coupled transient thermal field and stress field is carried out by sequentially thermal-structural coupled method based on ANSYS to evaluate the stress and deformations on disc surface including the contact pressure on the pads. The results obtained by the simulation are satisfactory compared with those of the specialized literature.
