Abstract

The following work encompasses the design of a disc braking system for a single seated solar electric racing vehicle and serves as a guide for developing a desired braking system for various student racing competitions. The basic aim of this work is to design and fabricate a safe, reliable and an efficient hydraulic braking system according to the required standards .Reliability, lightweight materials, manufacturing ease and costs, maximum braking force, safe stopping distance and manageable temperature are some of the considerations done for the braking system. Modelling and simulation are done in Spaceclaim 2020 and Ansys 2020R2.Topology optimization of brake disc is done to reduce the weight of the braking system done. This brake system is designed according to the rules and regulations of ESVC organized by ISIE and accredited by Ministry of New and Renewable Energy, Government of India and Ministry of MSME, Government of India.
