Abstract

Safety is a very important aspect of the vehicle. Effective Braking system along with good suspension systems and good handling is very important for determining the performance of the vehicle. This work deals with the study of the existing braking components, like master cylinder and caliper, designing of new braking components using SOLIDWORKS, and to perform static structural analysis on ANSYS .The objective of the newer designs is to increase the braking power and reduce the stopping distance without causing much change to the parameters like total deformation, principal stresses, shear stresses, factor of safety and weight. The analysis was done on master cylinder and caliper using ANSYS workbench. . The standard dimensions of master cylinder are taken from MARUTI 800, while that of caliper is taken from the Bajaj Pulsar.The results are plotted in tabular format.
