Title | Fully Parameterized Models and Optimal Design of Vehicle B rake Rotors | ||
Keyword | |||
Abstract | This thesis investigates two types of automotive brake rotors, using ANSYS APDL codes to build fully parameterized models of the rotors and to perform modal analysis and optimizations achieving a completely automatic process from model building to optimum design. The codes, also integrated with an Excel VBA based interface, is named BROS. Users simply enter values and select functions needed through the interactive interface and the rest fro m model building to optimum design is done automatically. BROS creates fully parameterized models of the rotors based on positional and functional relations of every key point of the models. Further, to facilitate automation, the program can accurately identify specific modes and generate a mode separation table in a 2 D array, in which the mode separation frequencies can be defined as the design variables and then realize mode separation optimization can be realized. BROS presented in this research is the first version and it is expected to be upgraded in the future. This commencing edition has accomplished three goals: 1. Creating fully parameterized models; 2. Automatic identification of specific modes; 3. User selection of design variables when needed. Repeated tests and verifications have been performed to ensure the integrity of the software and it has been proven a very helpful tool for brake rotors design and research. |
