A Comparative Evaluation of Conveyor Belt Disc Brakes and Drum Brakes: Integrating Structural Topology Optimization and Weight Reduction

Topology optimization is a well known and sophisticated method for designing structures. Through a finite element analysis, this method optimizes the design and material distribution to obtain an ideal strength-to-weight ratio and improved strain-to-weight ratio. This study involves the development...
