Design and Static Analysis of Drum Brake with Different Materials

Abstract

A brake is a mechanical device which in habits motion. A drum brake is a brake that uses friction caused by a set of shoes or pads that press against a rotating drum-shaped part called a brake drum. The brake drum is a critical component that experiences high temperatures and develop thermal stresses during application of brakes. In addition, the application of shoe pressure gives rise to mechanical loads. Brakes in cars and trucks are safety parts. Requirements not only in performance but also in comfort, serviceability and working lifetime are high and rising. i.e.

The Brake Drum with the friction material, the counter body and caliper,       can be modelled. So in this project we design the model of drum brake(drum, & pads) in catia v5 and structural analysis is performed in ansys workbench software to find the total deformation and stress of the drum break with some materials .
