This document summarizes the optimization of a disc brake caliper housing using finite element analysis (FEA). The original caliper weighed 2.06 kg. Various redesign strategies were analyzed using FEA to reduce weight, including enlarging ventilation holes, increasing rib thickness, reducing cylinder diameter, and adding fillets. The redesign reduced the weight to 1.522 kg, a 538 gram reduction. FEA showed von Mises stresses below 450 MPa and deflections under 0.3 mm under a maximum pressure of 300 bar. Experimental validation found deflections matched FEA results, validating the redesigned caliper's performance under real working conditions.

IRJET- Crash Analysis of Four Wheel Vehicle for Different VelocityIRJET Journal
The document summarizes a crash analysis of a four-wheel vehicle model conducted using ANSYS Explicit Dynamics at different velocities. At low velocities, the front part of the vehicle absorbed most of the impact force with slight deformation. At high velocities, plastic deformation increased significantly in the front part, especially in the bumper, bonnet, A-pillar and windshield. Energy graphs showed that internal energy increased drastically during impact while kinetic energy decreased, then rebounded after impact. The study analyzed deformation, stress, and energy at velocities of 100m/s and 250m/s to understand vehicle crashworthiness at different speeds.

Drag Reduction of Front Wing of an F1 Car using Adjoint Optimisationyasirmaliq
The Project Poster summarizes the aims and objectives of the Final Year Dissertation. The project starts with a detailed study on the parameters that tend to affect the performance of front wings of an F1 car and goes through designing the front wings(3) with endplates and wheel, meshing it, solving/analysing the flow and finally optimising the selected geometry using Fluent Adjoint Solver for efficient performance.
Adjoint optimisation technique is used to achieve optimal performance from the front wings. It's the most successful shape optimisation method as it's independent of the number of design variables exponentially reducing computational time and cost. The emphasis has been put on optimising the shape of the front wings using the Adjoint method as it’s the most efficient and computationally inexpensive method for design optimisation. The approach towards shape optimisation is downforce constrained drag minimization as it would result in keeping a constraint on downforce and reducing the drag at the same time, thus producing optima for a given downforce/drag value.
