Hand calc. possible for a brake disc?

[321GO]

Hello Guys,

I'm trying to hand calc a brake disc to get some estimate of the stresses in the collar part(the part connecting the actual brake disc to the hub mounting face).

The stress state from FEA results prove very complex and multidirectional(basically a mess).

Does anybody have any experience with such a setup? Any thoughts, suggestions or assumptions to make are more than welcome.

p.s. thermal induces stresses are excluded, pure torgue loading

Thank you all.

I don't know anything about what you’re asking, but I think the question should be in the mechanical forum.

Arguing with an engineer is like wrestling with a pig in mud. After a while you realize that they like it
