Material selection for vehicle brake chamber case with using computer methods of analysis

Abstract

In this paper, we consider options for using computer methods for analyzing the design features of some automotive units, which made it possible to justify the choice of materials and technologies for their manufacture. To improve the performance parameters that determine the service life of brake chamber housings made of a polymer composite material based on polyamide 6, methods for modifying the matrix are proposed that reduce its characteristic disadvantages -increased moisture absorption and a tendency to aging under the influence of atmospheric factors.
