Abstract: Hydraulic brake systems are fundamental safety components in modern vehicles, converting driver input force into braking torque through fluid pressure transmission. The mechanical efficiency of these systems plays a critical role in braking performance, energy losses, and overall vehicle safety. This study evaluates the mechanical efficiency of hydraulic brake systems by analysing force transmission, pressure amplification, and energy dissipation mechanisms. The investigation considers theoretical relationships alongside practical losses caused by friction, fluid resistance, and mechanical deformation. Results demonstrate that system inefficiencies significantly influence braking force output and response behaviour. The study highlights key factors affecting efficiency and proposes considerations for optimisation in automotive braking design.
Keywords: Hydraulic brake systems, fundamental safety components, modern vehicles, fluid pressure transmission.
