Design of Brake Disc Dust Cover Based on Multidisciplinary Optimization Method

Modal, stiffness, vibration durability and other multidisciplinary properties need to be considered in the structural design of brake disc dust cover. An optimization process was created, including the conceptual design and detailed design process to ensure that the multi-disciplinary objectives were achieved. In the conceptual design process, through the joint optimization of topology and topography, the objectives of modal and stiffness can be achieved, which ensures the structural reinforcement and the location of the holes were optimal. In the detailed design process, the height of the flange, the height of the convexity, the width of the holes, and the thickness of the sheet metal were parameterized, and a multidisciplinary optimization process was constructed. This is a new design idea for multi-disciplinary optimization of the brake disc dust cover.
