Abstract - This study presents the design, analysis, and
However, its effectiveness is reduced during off-road activities such as racing, where the likelihood of encountering water and mud is high. This can cause the disc to become wet and covered in debris, reducing the braking effectiveness significantly. A solution to this problem is to use an outboard system, which can be sealed and isolated from the atmosphere, enabling it to work in a clean and dry environment.
fabrication process of an outboard braking system for an AllTerrain Vehicle (ATV). The outboard braking system offers several advantages, including improved cooling efficiency and reduced unsprung weight compared to traditional inboard braking systems. The design phase involves conceptualization, component selection, and CAD modeling to meet performance and safety requirements. Finite Element Analysis (FEA) is employed to assess the structural integrity and thermal performance of the braking components under various operating conditions. Fabrication techniques such as machining, welding, and assembly are utilized to construct the prototype system. The experimental evaluation includes performance testing on a test rig and onfield trials to validate the functionality, reliability, and durability of the outboard braking system. Results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed design in enhancing braking performance and overall vehicle dynamics, thus contributing to the advancement of ATV technology.
This is a proven system in the motorcycle industry and could be an effective method of braking for ATVs. However, as of now there is no specific literature or documented information on the design and analysis of an outboard brake system for an ATV. This paper aims to provide information to future designers on the ways to do this effectively.
2.PROBLEM STATEMENT The following are issues that arise when an ATV installs an inboard braking system.
Key Words: All-Terrain Vehicle, Outboard Braking, CAD modelling, Fabrication, Braking performance.
1. Disc Performance Affected by Oil leaking: The inboard braking system has difficulties as a result of gearbox oil leaking, which makes the disc greasy. This problem not only impairs braking effectiveness but also prompts questions about dependability and safety.
1.INTRODUCTION The Indian automotive industry is one of the largest in the world. ATV (All-Terrain Vehicle) is one of the fastest growing segments in the automobile industry. ATVs can handle a variety of terrains and are used in diverse activities such as agriculture, off-road racing or leisure. The use of ATVs for racing is becoming increasingly popular.
2. Subsystem Mounting Issues: The design and integration of the inboard braking system are significantly hampered by subsystem mounting issues, such as engine mounting. Complex engineering challenges are involved in ensuring appropriate alignment and stability while accommodating multiple components within the restricted available space.
One key concern with the ever increasing speeds of these vehicles is safety. This is not only a concern for the riders but also for track side personnel and spectators. With the average mass of an ATV being in the region of 250 kg and capable of reaching speeds in excess of 100 kmph, it becomes clear that stopping these vehicles safely and quickly is no simple task. A system capable of doing so reliably under harsh and varied conditions is required.
3. Excessive Cost of Brake Hub: The inboard braking system faces financial difficulties because of the brake hub's exorbitant cost. Exorbitant production expenses. These issues collectively impede the efficiency, reliability, and cost-effectiveness of the inboard braking system, demanding innovative solutions and careful consideration in design and implementation processes.
The primary form of braking used in ATVs is currently the Outboard braking system. This system is efficient when used as an in-board system in dry conditions.
