finite element analysis。Weight Reduction Design and Analysis for the Brake Caliper of a Sport Utility Vehicle Huiwen Hu1 Tzuhsuan Huang2 1,2Department of Vehicle Engineering,National Pingtung University of Science and Technology, TaiwanEmail : huiwenAbstract This paper presents the weight reduction design and analysis of the brake caliper for a sport utility vehicle (SUV) by using CAD/CAE technique. A puteraided design software (UniGraphics) is used to rebuild a 3D detailed model of the caliper. A mercial code, ANSYS, is used to establish a finite element model, including the caliper, piston and disc. The static analysis is conducted on the model to obtain the deformation and stress level of the original caliper. The results are used as the reference in weight reduction design of caliper by using the aluminum material A356T6.Keywords: brake caliper。6. 胡惠文,張書(shū)源,陳坤義,童培鈞,謝寶賢,「休旅車轉(zhuǎn)向節(jié)之輕量化設(shè)計(jì)與結(jié)構(gòu)分析」,中國(guó)機(jī)械工程學(xué)會(huì)第二十五屆全國(guó)學(xué)術(shù)研討會(huì)論文集,彰化,2008。4. 中華汽車服務(wù)部技術(shù)課,SAVRIN底盤(pán)工作手冊(cè),
