The discussion centers on designing a brake for a disc drive, with specific requirements to stop a shaft at 775 rpm within 0.5 seconds. Participants express confusion over the initial parameters and seek clarification on the context and specifics of the design, such as the size and weight of the disc. Recommendations include consulting "Brake Design and Safety" by Rudolf Limpert for comprehensive guidance. The general consensus is that the query lacks sufficient detail for a precise answer, suggesting further research on brake design fundamentals. Engaging with more specific questions after preliminary research is encouraged for better assistance.

Hai, I'm new here, I hope find you guys well, Sorry, I'd like to ask about designing brake, currently my objectives for designing is Disc drive, I'm very confused, how to calculate, the parameter is the brake need to stop shaft in 775 ppm, in 0,5s for time, what I confused right now, what parameter factor to be consider in designing the brake.

Welcome!
Could you clarify the meaning of "to stop shaft in 775 ppm"?
 
Some context would be good.
Is it for data storage, or part of a grass mower ?
How big is the disc ?
What does it weigh ?
Is it direct drive ?

Certainly a head scratcher.
But then it came to me.
A typo ppm = rpm

Brake Design and Safety by Rudolf Limpert might be of interest to you.
Please understand that your question is so general that a book, such as the book linked by @jack action, is the simplest answer that we can give to your question. There are also other books on the subject of brakes. You provided so little information that any attempt to answer your question would require writing a similar book.

A good place to start is with search term design of brakes. Careful reading of the first few dozen hits will give you enough general background that you should be able to ask questions that we can answer.
 
Had my central air system checked when it sortta wasn't working. I guess I hadn't replaced the filter. Guy suggested I might want to get a UV filter accessory. He said it would "kill bugs and particulates". I know UV can kill the former, not sure how he thinks it's gonna murder the latter. Now I'm finding out there's more than one type of UV filter: one for the air flow and one for the coil. He was suggesting we might get one for the air flow, but now we'll have to change the bulb...
