ACTIVE BRAKE COOLING 89 Appendix M: Finite Element Analysis ABSTRACT The Purpose of this report is to show how finite element analysis is a method and technique used to solve a variety of engineering design application problems through the utilization of the powerful Lisa software. The introduction to the engineering design focus is given on pages 3-5 of this technical report where the mechanical engineering design is an active cooling conditioning and monitoring system for heavy transportation vehicles. The demand for this system is such that will aid and abide in the shipping and distribution industry offering a safer means of transporting goods on commercial highways where accidents due occur from a scientific phenome called brake fade. The thermal analysis of a radial cross section plate Is approximated as a flat plate or plane wall that is subjected to boundary conditions having a temperature of 560 degrees Celsius on the interior surface and a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius on the external surface. The analytical analysis will be performed by conducting sequential integration of the second order linear homogenous differential equation by solving for the integration constants and formulating a general solution this detail is modeled on pages 6-8. The finite element analysis will be conducted utilizing Lisa software and boundary conditions at the 2dimensional solid 4 element 5 node body. Where the known temperatures at the nodes on the y=o axis are 560 degrees Celsius and the temperatures at the y=l axis are 20 degrees. The mechanical properties of the grey cast iron h250/g3000 plate are given in table 1 on page 5. The actual conditions that a brake drum experiences at critical temperatures are give in table 2 located on page 5. The full analysis of the drum and the purpose of offering forced convection through the design of an active cooling conditioning and monitoring brake system with air as a fluid medium are beyond the scope of this report. The convergence test is shown in table 7 located on page 10 of this technical

Some of these goods are simple goods that individuals encounter everyday such as products from the grocery that have been processed and packaged or goods such as stationary items that are used in professional office settings. On the other end of the spectrum with respect to the variety of goods that are requested to be shipped from location to location by heavy transportation vehicles, some of these goods can be of a significant amount of weight increasing the loading of the heavy
ACTIVE BRAKE COOLING 92 transportation vehicles which of course increases the demand of the engine and other mechanical related components and attributes on these vehicles. Such as lubrication, fuel, and braking power. Brake Fade is a Phenomena that occurs in various types of vehicles, such as race cars, air planes, and transport trucks. Brake fade occurs when the temperature of the braking element disc or drumreaches a temperature that causes a volume increase due to thermal expansion requesting more work from the braking piston. Brake fade occurs when the brake pad combusts from the release of a gaseous substance degenerating the quality of braking performance. Brake fade occurs when the braking effort is not equally distributed requesting more work to be done by the braking piston. A general misconception for brake fade occurs when the braking fluid reaches a temperature that causes a thermodynamic state transformation from liquid to vapor again degenerating the quality of braking; however, for terms of this technical finite element analysis project report, Vapor Brake fade is not a primary focus. Race Cars Figure One Brakes: 6-piston (front and rear) carbon calipers, carbon discs and pads Brake disc size: 278 x 28 mm (front and rear) Weight 642 kg Figure One shows a Formula One race car making a sharp turn around the competitive race track. Formula One race cars like the one depicted in figure one reach top speeds up to 360 Km/h. These speed request heavy quality braking that avoids the brake phenome brake fade. Air Planes
ACTIVE BRAKE COOLING 93 Figure Two Figure Two shows a plane running off the landing strip. Landing speeds for typical airplanes are 250300 miles per hour with a weight of 391000 kg, the request is for quality braking without the occurrence of the mechanical phenome brake fade. Transport Trucks Figure Three Figure three is shows a heavy transportation vehicle transporting an over-sized load that is vulnerable to suffering brake fade at quick braking such as when travelling through a steep decline through a gravitational field The focus of the capstone mechanical engineering design project is to design an active conditioning and monitoring cooling system for heavy transportation vehicles. Finite Element Analysis from the software Lisa will show the stresses that the brake drum is subjected to at high stress levels. Table 1

ACTIVE BRAKE COOLING 103 Conclusion Temperature at x=l/2 (⁰C) Heat flux at Surface of the plate (W/m^2) Finite Element 290 1609673.79 Method Analytical Method 290 1607000.00 Relative Error 0 0.00167 Table 7 Tabulated in Table 7 are the results of both the finite element method using Lisa software, and the analytical method. The relative error for the temperature at location X=L/2 is 0, and the relative error of the heat flux at the surface of the plate is 0.00167. Another interesting observation is that the assumption that heat transfer is only is one direction is a very good assumption and is scientifically verified as results indicate in column three of table 6 because the heat flux is significantly small that it can be disregarded completely. Lisa Software is a powerful tool that can aid in the mechanical engineering design applications

ACTIVE BRAKE COOLING 105 DOCUMENTATION The purpose of this section is to show the drum illustrated in the figure below to be modelled and analysed using ANSYS WORKBENCH. Under the loading mentioned similar to table two with mechanical properties of structural steal again which is similar to that mentioned in table 1. Generating the Mesh Selecting appropriate elements for specified regions to match the physical behavior of the system is an important aspect of modelling in engineering applications. Finer Elements should be used closer to geometric discontinuities such as abrupt changes in cross section or around sensitive areas. The closer the mesh models the physical system the more accurate the solution will be. The Aspect Ratio is optimal when equality is 1. This is because of the more precise configuration of the element. This Figure shows a very good resolution of fine mesh that has been generated. The top left corner displays the Aspect Ratio which can be shown that the majority of the mesh is less than 4. The bottom right hand corner shows the scale in units of m.
ACTIVE BRAKE COOLING 106 This Figure Illustrates the meshing that was configured utilizing the software LISA. The Figure above is the same Drum with a mesh that has been generated however the coarse is mesh. Notice the increase in the Aspect Ratio. AN EMAIL are the solutions to the problem where fixed supports are located at each of the 10 holes as well as the axel entry. The results show the detail of the stress and deformation, and temperature distribution The accuracy of these values are dependent on the accuracy of the geometry configuration, the mesh, and the in-service loading conditions. Appendix N: Lumped System Analysis Objective
ACTIVE BRAKE COOLING 107 Determine the velocity required to keep the surface of the inner surface of the drum at safe temperatures Analysis Prevention through Design with lumped system analysis which requests that the temperature of a lumped body is a function of time. T(t), such as an egg that is being boiled or cooled for consumption. The brake drum is required to have a maximum in service condition of 427⁰C Assume braking starts at 120 km/h and decreases to 0 Conclusion Once the velocity is known that will maintain the temperature at safe limits, sizing of outlets of piping can be determined and the corresponding volume flow rate can be determined and the corresponding power can be determined for an accurate blower. Lumped System Analysis is not a valid technique for this analysis because it violated the condition of keeping the Biot number less than <0.1 even with significant adjustments such as the rotations of the braking wheel, the linear velocity of the wheel.
