Abstract : One of the most common problems related to brake discs is overheating, which negatively affects braking performance especially under the continuous braking conditions of vehicles. Ventilation applications on brake discs can significantly improve the brake system performance by reducing the heating of the discs. In this study, the thermal behaviors of ventilated brake discs using three different configurations were investigated at continuous brake conditions in terms of heat generation and thermal stresses with finite element analysis. The results were compared with a solid disc. Heat generation on solid brake discs reduced to a maximum of 24% with ventilation applications. The experimental study indicated finite element temperature analysis results in the range between 1.13% and 10.87%. However, thermal stress formations were higher with ventilated brake discs in comparison to those with solid discs.
