Abstract
There are many kinds of simplifications and limitations in evaluating thermal performance of disc brake using the analytic technologies which were established before. But now new virtual test technology with several advanced analytic techniques is developed to evaluate the thermal performance without any possibility of great errors that used to happen for the time-consuming analysis. As a result, it was estimated that the virtual test technology could afford to replace the physical dynamo test since the reliability of virtual test technology was reasonably verified with the existing data measured in dynamo test.
