^he braking systems are used for reducing speed or halting the vehicle. The brake rotors experience high frictional forces causing their wear and tear; kinetic energy is converted into heat energy which increases the temperature of the rotor. If an appropriate amount of heat is not dissipated it can deteriorate the quality of the rotor. This paper aims to determine better material from the traditionally used Grey Cast Iron. Heat dissipation, deformation and safety factor are determined by the physical and thermal properties of the material. To select the best material, ‘Thermal-Stress’ analysis is performed on Fusion 360 as a brake rotor experiences not only high torque but also high temperature at the same time. The results are conferred based on the various criteria discussed in the paper such as material properties, the temperature generated and FEA. The tests lead to Ti-6Al-4V (Ti Grade 5) as the best material.

A modified shear deformation theory associated with the four-node quadrilateral element for bending and free vibration analyses of plates

Few years ago, the higher-order shear deformation theory of Shi was proven effective in the analysis of structures. In this paper, the author introduces a modification of above theory combined with four-node quadrilateral elements for bending and free vibration analyses of plates. Shear correction factor is not required here. The acceptable results obtained from the proposed element are a necessary prerequisite for the development of other problems in the near future.
