Effective braking is a critical factor determining the performance and drivability of any vehicle. Brake caliper being the heart of a braking system, the whole system is built considering its strength. An optimized design of a brake caliper thereby ensures reduced size of wheel assembly, reduced weight and effective braking. The analysis is further used to identify the critical locations of low stiffness on the brake caliper and also aimed at evaluating the performance of brake caliper under severe braking conditions. Hence best suitable design is suggested based on the performance and strength criteria. This paper studies a conceptual design of a brake caliper for a Formula Student (F.S.) vehicle, primarily focusing on reducing the size and weight without compromising its strength and stiffness. 3D modelling of brake caliper is created in Solidworks and analysed for stress, deformation and temperature distribution in ANSYS Workbench
