Analysis and Optimisation of Disc Brake System for Two-Wheeler Applications

Abstract

Braking system is used for restraining the motion by absorbing energy from a moving body. The conventional braking system works on the principle of friction. Among the different types of brakes, disc brake is one of the most widely used braking systems. Estimation of efficiency of this class of brakes without manufacturing of prototype is very difficult. This paper focusses on analysis and optimization of disc brake using ANSYS software. The base modelling of the disc brake system will be carried out using SOLIDWORKS and the model will be imported to ANSYS. The analysis is aiming at optimizing the deformation and stress conditions. The final design is aiming at controlling the deformation and stresses of the disc by providing the best material to be used for the certain design. The basic brake system used for the analysis was Bajaj Pulsar 150 motor cycles.
