Abstract

The brake drum is a critical component that experiences high temperatures and develop thermal stresses during application of brakes. In addition, the application of shoe pressure gives rise to mechanical loads. So the analysis takes into account both the thermal stresses and mechanical stresses together. Since theanalytical solution is not possible due to combination of loads and varying of contour of the brake drum, it isnecessary to carry out finite element approach in order to evaluate the exact stress distribution and make surethat the stress values are well below the allowable limits. In this papert Drum modelled by using cad tool creo-8, then it is imported into cae tool to analysis, in this case the model was checked by real time boundary conditions both static and thermal, with two materials by this we can find out deformation, stress, safety factor, and heat flux and total temperature distributions, from all the results we can find which material is most suitable for the object
