In this paper analysis of automotive disc brake rotor is carried out with the help of ANSYS 17.1 Academic software. Disc brakes operate on the principle of friction by converting the kinetic energy of the vehicle into heat energy at the contact between disc and pads. The main objective of a disc brake rotor is to store this generated heat energy and dissipate it into the environment as soon as possible. This heat rapidly increases the temperature of the disc at the rubbing surface, resulting in thermal stresses in the components of the brake. Thermal behavior of solid and cross drilled brake disc rotors is studied. For numerical analysis commercially available tool ANSYS is used to determine temperature distribution in the disc.
