Finite Element Analysis of Brake Disc of Motorcycle

Abstract

Noise and vibration with the braking process in passenger vehicals has become an important economic and technical issue in the industry. The information of natural frequencies of brake discs is of higher interest in the study of response of structures to excitations. Hence a brake disc plate with central hole, fixed at inner edge and free at outer edge is chosen and its dynamic response is investigated. The objective of current work is to analyze the vibration parameters as natural frequency, mode shapes of brake disc with drilled holes of different diameter & of weared discs at outer end . FEM software package is used for vibration analysis of brake discs the disc brake is modeled using commercial computer aided design (CAD) software, ANSYS.
