For the solid brake disc, cross drilling on the disc surface is a common design to reduce the total mass of the disc. These holes also change the total surface area of the disc and affect the convection capability. By altering both heat storage and heat dissipation simultaneously, the cross-drilled holes would definitely influence the disc temperature change during operation. In this research, finite element method (FEM) is used to simulate the disc temperature models of several discs with different hole patterns. The influence of the cross-drilled holes on the temperature change of the solid brake disc is thus found. In the end, an example is introduced to show how the hole pattern of a disc is modified so that the disc temperature is kept under the highest limit allowed.
