title: SAE BAJA BRAKING SYSTEM DESIGN AND ANALYSIS

subject: Simulation, Braking, FEA, Design

description: The SAE Braking team developed detailed design and analysis tools for the braking system of the Mini-Baja student competition car. A detailed Excel spreadsheet simulation tool was created where all preliminary calculations were completed. Calculations include general vehicle moments of inertia, rotating inertia, braking torque and hydraulic performance of the braking system. A detailed user guide was created for the Excel simulation including detailed explanations of vehicle braking concepts. This user guide will help support future teams adapt the simulations to future vehicle design efforts. The design portion of the project included using the simulations for a detailed brake pedal design to achieve the desired hydraulic pressure needed to achieve brake rotor clamping forces. Structural integrity verification of the pedal design was accomplished using SolidWorks and Finite Element Analysis (FEA). The team worked closely with other SAE Baja teams to specify the exact position of the pedal and other braking system components for rider comfort and vehicle fabrication. The associated electrical system was also developed which included the system sensors and wiring to ensure a brake light operates correctly even in the event of a front or rear brake line failure.
