Homework Statement
I have currently been working on a group project designing a brake disc assembly. The current problem i am having is trying to workout the force acting on each wheel stud.
The frictional force of the brake pad is 3.2 KN with an efective radius of 105MM from the center of the disc
The 4 wheel studs concentric to the disc have a pcd of 65MM
What would be the force acting on each stud? i need to know this so i can further calculate the minimum bolt diameter. I will attach the work that my group mate has done so far however i doubt the initial calcualtions to find the force acting on each bolt is correct.
