Design and Analysis of a Master Cylinder for Hydraulic Braking System

Brakes being the major safety system in a vehicle, plays an important role in automobile. It is responsible for bringing the moving vehicle to standstill as and when needed. Its effectiveness is of great concern for all brake engineers. Braking system working on hydraulic principle is called as Hydraulic braking system. The most significant part of a hydraulic braking system is a Master cylinder. This paper studies a conceptual design of a master cylinder, and its analysis primarily aiming on reducing its size without negot master cylinder was made in Creo parametric 3.0 and studied for stress and deformation under fatigue loading in ANSYS Workbench 15.0.
