Abstract

In this paper, ANSYS Workbench software is used to establish the brake caliper finite element model, finite element analysis of the model. Under the premise of satisfying the strength, stiffness and stability of the caliper model, Workbench DesignXplorer module was used to optimize the caliper parts' dimensions, and a two-level response surface model was constructed based on OSF algorithm. The caliper mass was taken as the main output parameter, and the lightweight design was carried out through MOGA multi-objective optimization. In terms of material lightweight, new vermicular cast iron was selected to replace QT450, QT600 and Q235 materials. After lightweight design, the yield strength and tension and compression strength of calipers were satisfied, and the mass was reduced by 15.4%
