MaterialsEffect on Mechanical Properties and Weight Loss for Vehicle ABS Ring: ASimulation-Based Study

The ABS ring, as a critical component of a vehicle’s antilock braking system, is subjected to transient impact pressure during dynamic driving conditions. This study investigates the mechanical behavior of the ring’s teeth under such pressures through numerical simulation conducted in Abaqus. A detailed three-dimensional model of the ring was developed, and its nonlinear, strain-rate-dependent properties were characterized for the selected material. High-speed dynamic contact loading was applied to simulate impact conditions, and structural responses, including surface pressure distribution, stress concentration, and deformation, were extracted. The results demonstrate that optimizing the tooth geometry and selecting materials capable of effectively absorbing pressure can significantly reduce the risk of localized failure. These findings contribute to enhancing the durability of ABS components and improving braking performance under critical conditions. Finally, the results showed that the use of titanium alloy while maintaining mechanical properties can reduce the weight of this piece by up to ۱۵۰ grams, which reduces fuel consumption and has an effective role in the development and protection of the environment.
