Energy transformation at the friction interface of a brake

Day, Andrew J. January 1983 (has links)
Energy transformation at the friction interface of a brake has been studied in a system where resin bonded composite friction material is applied to a metal mating body. A time-step simulation of braking friction was developed using finite element techniques, based upon the PAFEC 75 program, combining calculations of interface contact, pressure and friction force distributions with transient temperature analysis. Only compressive normal forces and tangential friction forces are transmitted across the interface, and these were assumed to be related by Amontons' Laws; the coefficient of friction so defined being considered constant for the purposes of the analyses presented.

Car Automatic Braking System : based on original reverse warning system

Ronghong, Xiao, Hai, Wang January 2012 (has links)
An original ultrasonic reverse warning system is a new system that can assist drivers while car is braking. It is includes ultrasonic emitter and receiver that can producing and receiving the ultrasonic waves to determine the distance between car and obstacle. But it is not good enough for the safety of cars, in this paper, we are meant to design a system that can help drivers stop the car automatically, an electronic circuit was constructed. According to this circuit we design, a signal was produced to the braking system of car based on the distance between car and obstacle for a safe braking purpose. Error is also discussed and during the experiment, the improvement for the original system has also achieved.

Classification of Articulated hauler braking behaviours

Thamel, Prasadini January 2019 (has links)
This study is performed to identify the customer braking behaviors of Articulated haulers. The data files from the different customer sites are used to analyses the data. The braking definition for the braking event was created to identify the braking events by using of output braking pressure. Also the statistical features related to the vehicle were calculated for  identified braking events. Furthermore the braking events were classified according to the classification rules which were created based on calculated statistical features.The final results ( classification)  motivates and satisfies with the  aim of the project.

Development of a Novel Air Hybrid Engine

Fazeli, Amir January 2011 (has links)
An air hybrid vehicle is an alternative to the electric hybrid vehicle that stores the kinetic energy of the vehicle during braking in the form of pressurized air. In this thesis, a novel compression strategy for an air hybrid engine is developed that increases the efficiency of conventional air hybrid engines significantly. The new air hybrid engine utilizes a new compression process in which two air tanks are used to increase the air pressure during the engine compressor mode. To develop the new engine, its mathematical model is derived and validated using GT-Power software. An experimental setup has also been designed to test the performance of the proposed system. The experimental results show the superiority of the new configuration over conventional single-tank system in storing energy. In addition, a new switchable cam-based valvetrain and cylinder head is proposed to eliminate the need for a fully flexible valve system in air hybrid engines. The cam-based valvetrain can be used both for the conventional and the proposed double-tank air hybrid engines. To control the engine braking torque using this valvetrain, the same throttle that controls the traction torque is used. Model-based and model-free control methods are adopted to develop a controller for the engine braking torque. The new throttle-based air hybrid engine torque control is modeled and validated by simulation and experiments. The fuel economy obtained in a drive cycle by a double-tank air hybrid vehicle is evaluated and compared to that of a single-tank air hybrid vehicle.
