Design and Analysis of Double Piston Brake Caliper for SAE BAJA Vehicle

<div class="section abstract"><div class="htmlview paragraph">The braking system in a vehicle is one of the most important systems, which provides safety and control of the vehicle to the drivers. In this braking system the calipers play a crucial part of transferring the force of the master cylinder to the disc and stopping the vehicle. This caliper is of many types and variants. In which we are presenting a study on the design and analysis of a double piston floating caliper which will be used in BAJA vehicle. This double piston caliper is designed for the replacement of OEM calipers which are in use, which have many drawbacks. The designing of the caliper is done using Solidworks 2022 and the analysis is done with the help of Altair Hyperworks. Finite element analysis (FEA) is employed to simulate stress distribution within the caliper structure and predict potential failure points, contributing to the caliper's reliability and durability. This double piston floating caliper offers a greater braking performance than the other used calipers as it is been designed for the needs of the ATV.</div></div>
