The paper is focused on analysis of mechanical and thermal processes occurring in disc brakes during braking. For a specific example of real braking parameters the authors conducted numerical simulations of performance of two differently shaped brakes. Finite elements method was used and coupled mechanical and thermal analyses were carried out. Basing on obtained results intensity of heat generation and distribution of temperature as well as stresses level in elements of the studied subassemblies were evaluated. Comparison of scientific findings was a keystone to point out some significant remarks concerning construction of disc brakes in the view of their safe and reliable operation.
