Crack Detection in Brake Disc by Modal Analysis
Crack Detection in Brake Disc by Modal Analysis
Crack Detection in Brake Disc by Modal Analysis
Crack changes the dynamic behaviour of the structure and by examining this change, crack size and position can be identified
Extracting modal parameters like mode shape, natural frequency and damping to detect crack in brake disc.
Selection of disc brake that will be used or tested in this project Modeling the disc brake in Pro-E Performing modal analysis in ANSYS v13.0 Performing Experimental Modal Analysis using Shaker Comparison between Simulation and Experimental
The basic idea is that the modal parameters are, by definition, functions of the physical properties of components such as mass, stiffness or modulus of elasticity and hence of mechanical properties. This concept was used mainly in the application of modal testing
Physically, a crack of length 30mm to a depth of 10mm in the disc brake is made by EDM of wire size 0.25mm In FEA, the crack width of 0.35mm of the same length and depth is made using ANSYS. Element Used for meshing is Shell65 Analysis Type: Modal Mode Extraction Algorithm :Block Lanczos
