Enhancing Stiffness of Caliper Bracket on Four Wheeler Disc Brake

Srisaanth Ravi, M. Balamurugan

Abstract


Brakes are most important component of any vehicle. The disc brakes are used in rear wheel brakes of four wheelers to provide better braking. These disc brakes contain Brake Caliper Brackets to hold the pads of the brakes. These Caliper Bracket must withstand the forces generated during braking and also should withstand heavy load during emergency or sudden braking. These Caliper Brackets must possess high stiffness to resists deformation due to load applied which leads to crack development. Due to low stiff materials used in Brackets leads to squeal which is another major concern. Hence in this paper the existing Caliper Bracket is analysed for its static strengths using ANSYS depending upon the loading conditions and improvement is made on the Bracket according to the results obtained.

Keywords- Stiffness, Young’s modulus, Deformation.
