Abstract Scope |
The braking system stops the vehicle from moving and to stop a vehicle, brake torque needs to be delivered from the brake caliper to the disc brake which stops the rotating wheels, and torque produced by the brake caliper needs to be greater than the torque produced at the wheels. Appropriate vehicle design parameters need to be formulated to ensure optimum design parameters for the brake caliper and optimum torque at the wheels. Design and manufacturing analysis have been carried out for metal additive manufacturing based brake caliper. For design modeling, SolidWorks has been used and from the simulation aspect, Ansys and Simufact have been used to analyze the stress, displacement, and surface deviation. Force and torque calculations have been carried out for the brake caliper using MATLAB. The designed brake caliper is optimum in terms of weight, cost, and efficiency. 90% brake efficiency has been achieved. |
