Abstract: Every decade the automotive industry has seen significant inventions and improvements, which diversified the industry’s spectrum in whatever ways possible. One such significant invention cum improvement in the brake systems is the disc brake system. Disc brakes gave way for the commercialization of high-powered racing bikes. The disc brakes had its own way of revolution in their shape, size and application from their inception. This paper deals with the shape and size optimization of the disc brakes and analyzing the same with different probable materials that can be employed for the application considered. Designing three different shapes of discs and analyzing them with two different materials produces a wide range of conclusions with some favoring results.
