Master Cylinder Mount FEA

Material: 4130 Alloy Steel annealed at 865C

Yield Strength: 4.600e+08

Fixtures:

On flat faces to restrict planar movement.

 

Interactions:

These are all virtual walls where the part comes into connect with other parts.

 

 

Loading:

The typical amount of force is 1831.5N (333N from the driver but amplified by 5.5MA), but it is saftey factored to have a 3666.3N load.

Mesh:

Mesh Controlled, on the weld and the width of the sheet metal:

Results:

 

Extra Steps: Could probably cut a few chunks off the sheet metal for weight saving.
