Optimal Design of Hydraulic Disc Brake for Magnetorheological (MR) Application

This paper aims to provide a new design considering compressive force application in the MR fluid andimprove its braking torque by optimizing it. According current study, compressing region will increase compared no compression. The area covered an existing model of conventional disc brake is taken into consideration for unique operate shear and compression mode, required given hydraulic pressure similar brake. suggested brake’s structural layout presented. Herschel-Bulkley thinning model’s mathematical expression equation modes provided. An analytical magnetic circuit done proposed determining relationship between applied field strength as function geometrical material attributes Simulation on COMSOL software with help AC/DC module, non-linear flux. results achieved varying are determined. graph displays plus mode well mode. After that, optimization optimal parameters. For optimization, we adopt most popular Genetic Algorithm (GA) method. Optimization capacity volume.
