Groove Shape Optimization of a Composition Brake Shoe by Finite Element Method
유한요소법에 의한 합성제륜자 홈의 형상 최적화
Abstract
A composition brake shoe composed of iron, graphite, kevlar, barium sulphate, etc. was developed for Diesel locomotives. The density distribution of the shoe depends on groove shapes of the shoe (or punch shape). In this study, we investigated the influence of the punch shape on the density distribution, stresses, etc. The inclination of the groove exerts more influence on the density distribution than the groove filet radius.
