Transient Analysis of Disk Brake By using Ansys Software

In this paper the thermo elastic phenomenon occurring in the disk brakes, the occupied heat conduction and elastic equations are solved with contact problems. The numerical simulation for the thermo elastic behavior of disk brake is obtained in the repeated brake condition. The computational results are presented for the distribution of heat flux and temperature on each friction surface between the contacting bodies. Also, thermo elastic instability (TIE) phenomenon (the unstable growth of contact pressure and temperature) is investigated in the present study, and the influence of the material properties on the thermo elastic behaviors (the maximum temperature on the friction surfaces) is investigated to facilitate the conceptual design of the disk brake system. Based on these numerical results, the thermo elastic behaviors of the carbon-carbon composites with excellent mechanical properties are also discussed

Analysis of Switch Gear and Validation

In this paper, the main function of a circuit breaker is to open up a circuit for a pre-defined time so as to prevent a sudden surge in current that could damage the equipment due to high heat is discussed. The equations of motion derived in this paper can predict the closing, opening of spring type operating mechanism in predefined time as well as be used to compute dynamic response of the moving contact. Using the optimized switch gear mechanism, the atlas of all feasible mechanisms for the spring-actuated controlling system of a circuit breaker has been synthesized

Design and Analysis of Composite Leaf Spring

In these paper, composite structures for conventional metallic structures has many advantages because of higher specific stiffness and strength of composite materials is discussed. The automobile industry has shown increased interest in the replacement of steel spring with fiberglass composite leaf spring due to high strength to weight ratio. This work deals with the replacement of conventional steel leaf spring with a Mono Composite leaf spring using E-Glass/Epoxy. The design parameters were selected and analyzed with the objective of minimizing weight of the composite leaf spring as compa
