A caliper brake is required for the front wheels of a sports car with a braking capacity of 820N m for each brake. Preliminary design estimates have set the brake geometry as 160 mm and 0 = 45°. A pad 1 = 100mm, r, = with a coefficient of friction of 0.35 has been selected. Determine the required actuating force and the average and maximum contact pressures.

A caliper brake is required for the front
wheels of a sports car with a braking capacity of
820N m for each brake. Preliminary design
estimates have set the brake geometry as
, = 100 mm, r, = 160 mm and 0 = 45°. A pad
with a coefficient of friction of 0.35 has been
selected. Deterrmine the required actuating force
and the average and maximum contact pressures.
