This project analyzed the thermal and mechanical loads on brake discs to understand deformation and cracking using computer aided design, simulation, and testing. The document outlines the project scope, prior research on brake disc analysis, experimental testing on a Vauxhall VX220 to measure heat rise under braking, validation of the mechanical clamping force and thermal stresses through calculations, finite element analysis of brake disc designs under thermal and mechanical loads, limitations, and suggestions for future work.
