Dimensional Modelling and Analysis of Automotive Master Cylinder

Abstract

In the entire braking system master cylinder is the key role component for a hydraulic braking system which controls the complete braking system. A reservoir is arranged to store the brake oil in the master cylinder. As the lubricating oil is in a closed circuit, the pulling force applied by the braking pedal is changes into the hydraulic pressure and it is then distributed to the entire brake unit. The master cylinder had a cylinder formed reservoir and it is made with molded plastics in a single piece. In this thesis, a master cylinder is designed and done the optimization for the stress and heat affected areas using CATIA 3D Modelling and simulated by ANSYS software.
