This work deals with the analysis of heat generation and dissipation in the disc brake of a car during braking and the following release period by using computer-aided engineering software for three different materials of the rotor disc and brake pad. The objective of this work is to analyze the temperature distribution of rotor disc during operation using COMSOL Multiphysics. The work uses the finite element analysis techniques to calculate and predict the temperature distribution on the brake disc and to identify the critical temperature of the brake rotor disc. Conduction, convection and radiation of heat transfer have been analyzed. The results obtained from the analysis indicates that different material on the same retardation of the car during braking shows different temperature distribution. A comparative study was made between grey cast iron (GCI), Aluminium Metal Matrix Composite (AMMC), Alloy steel materials are used for brake disc and the best material for making brake disc based on the rate of heat dissipation have been suggested.
