The disc brakes are vital components of vehicle for retarding its velocity. The proper design of disk brake is essential in dissipating heat from rubbing surface. The objective of current research is to investigate the thermal characteristics of cast iron disk brake under transient conditions. The designing and FE simulation of brake is conducted using ANSYS software. The existing design is then optimized to determine effect of each optimization variable and also to determine specific design points. The disc brake optimization results have provided significant information on design points at which heat dissipation and temperature is maximum or minimum and the effect of variable on heat flux is also established.
