AB - The main purpose of this study is to analysis the thermomechanical behavior  of the dry contact between the brake disc and pads during the braking phase.  The simulation strategy is based on the calculation code ANSYS11. The  modeling of transient temperature in the disk is actually used to identify  the factor of geometric design of the disk to install the ventilation system  in vehicles. The thermal-structural analysis is then used coupling to  determine the deformation established and the Von Mises stresses in the disk,  the contact pressure distribution in pads. The results are satisfactory  compared to those found in the literature.
