AI Thread Summary
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.
 
How did you find PF?: Via Google search Hi, I have a vessel I 3D printed to investigate single bubble rise. The vessel has a 4 mm gap separated by acrylic panels. This is essentially my viewing chamber where I can record the bubble motion. The vessel is open to atmosphere. The bubble generation mechanism is composed of a syringe pump and glass capillary tube (Internal Diameter of 0.45 mm). I connect a 1/4” air line hose from the syringe to the capillary The bubble is formed at the tip...
Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'
Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...
I'd like to create a thread with links to 3-D Printer resources, including printers and software package suggestions. My motivations are selfish, as I have a 3-D printed project that I'm working on, and I'd like to buy a simple printer and use low cost software to make the first prototype. There are some previous threads about 3-D printing like this: https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/are-3d-printers-easy-to-use-yet.917489/ but none that address the overall topic (unless I've missed...
