Finite Element Analysis of Brake Shoe Based on ANSYS Workbench

Abstract

Abstract-This paper takes brake shoe of drum brake as the object of study. The three dimensional model of brake shoe is established by using CATIA software. It is calculated that the driving force of the cam to brake shoe and the spring of brake shoe back position. Based on this, the static analysis of brake shoe structure is carried out by using ANSYS Workbench software, the stress and deformation of brake shoe are obtained under the static load condition. The structure of brake shoe is optimized and the maximum stress of the optimized brake shoe is reduced by 30.88%, which provides a theoretical basis for the structural design and optimization of brake shoes.
