The Optimization and Improvement of Truck Brake Caliper Bracket Based on the Finite Element Method

Article Preview

Abstract:

The brake caliper bracket (BCB) of the truck front axle would crack when a certain truck is running in 20000 kilometers road test. In view of the above phenomenon, this paper will use Altair HyperWorks to analyze the static strength of the BCB according to its working principle and load cases. The topology optimization will be done based on the reason found out before. Form the result of the topology optimization, the modified design for the BCB is carried out. Finally, an experiment result is given to check it is correct.
