Abstract
The purpose of this thesis is to analyse all the phases necessary to realize the brake disc assembly of a Formula Student prototype. This thesis was written because, following the analysis of the data collected during previous track tests, the maximum deceleration target was increased. Another objective is to provide support for future members of the Squadra Corse PoliTo Team who will have to design and manufacture a new braking system, to further improve not only the physical components but also the process behind them. The design phase was carried out starting from the existing components and using both analytical calculations and numerical models based on the Finite Element Method (FEM).
The latter were essential to guarantee the desired performance and reliability of the vehicle, which is often the critical aspect of these single seaters
