Abstract: In this paper we have developed a thermal and mechanical study of an aeronautical brake disc, which we have made geometric changes. To inspect the effect of these disc modifications on thermal and mechanical behavior, a simulation series was done by the ansys software in order to calculate the heat transfer coefficient, temperature and Von Mises stress. In this study we used statistical tools such as the design of experiments approach to establish the experimental designs required for this study and to write the corresponding mathematical model for each response. Finally, Fisher test was applied to all the designs to determine the most influential factors on the thermal and mechanical behavior of the brake disc.

Keywords:  heat transfer, brake disc, ansys, Von Mises, Design of Experiments, Fisher test.
