Testing of disc brakes

I wish to simulate a disc brake. All material properties are defined. The coeffiecient of brake pad is also given. I want it to make say 5 stops in 20 seconds and after that I want to get lateral displacement of the disc and also the temperature distribution. Please help.

The parameters you describe match well with the Simscape Driveline Disc Brake block

This example in PDE Toolbox will help you see how to obtain a temperature distribution: Thermal Analysis of Disc Brake
