This bachelor’s thesis focuses on the application of topology optimization in the design of a brake calliper, a key component of automotive braking systems. The objective of the thesis is to reduce the weight of the calliper while maintaining its mechanical strength and functional properties. The theoretical part explains the principles of topology optimization and its use in modern engineering, with emphasis on optimization methods for structural components under mechanical stress. The practical part includes an analysis of the original calliper design, followed by its optimization using specialized software. The results are compared with the initial state in terms of weight, strength, and other key parameters. The thesis demonstrates that the application of topology optimization can significantly contribute to improving calliper design efficiency, potentially leading to lighter and more efficient braking systems.
