Analysis Of A Drum Brake Force Visual Prototypes Conclusion

The worldwide automobile brake system market is flooded with advanced, modern and cost effective brake system technologies. Canada (21.73%), Mexico (19.22%), Japan (16.33%), China (13.56%) and Brazil (6.54%) are the largest manufacturing countries of automobile brake systems in

the world.

Annual revenue If looking at the world market we find the revenue of the automobile braking systems industry in the

year 2006 was about

US $ 13.98 billion

We can summarize the project objectives in following points: 1) Identifying function of disk brake and its parts.

2) Discussing the performance of the disk brake and the

microstructure of the friction pad. 3) Developing a solid model for the disk brake using solidworks along with its detailed drawings. 4) Developing a finite element model in order to study the mechanism of rotor and pad at different situations.

5) Developing an optimum design for the rotor using

solidworks software.
6) Conducting force analysis on the drum to evaluate:

a. The total braking torque.

b. The maximum pressure on the shoe and its location.

7) Making visual prototypes for main components of brake

system

the dimensions of brake system components can

optimize any dimension if we give appropriate

studies

Reduce rotor width achieve reduce in weight equal 8.15% This save can increase the profit of producing in mass production

the lining material in the maximum pressure side

must be more reliable to resist the applied forces
