Study on the Analysis and Optimization of Brake Disc: A Review

In view of significant increase in the research work on the brake disc in past few years, this article attempts to identify and highlight the various researches that are most relevant to analysis and optimization of brake disc. In the present article a keen review on the studies done on brake disc by previous researchers between (1998–2015) is presented. This literature review covers the important aspects of brake disc with the emphasis on material selection methods, thermal analysis, structural analysis, FEA and optimization of disc brake. This literature progressively discusses about the research methodology adopted and the outcome of the research work done by past researchers. This review is intended to give the readers a brief about the variety of the research work done on brake disc.
