Cette étude s'intéresse aux performances des matériaux composites Carbone/Carbone 2,5D lors d'un freinage aéronautique de basse énergie. Durant la vie avion, l'état de surface des disques de frein évolue et les performances de freinage s'en trouvent modifiées. Les études expérimentales et les modélisations réalisées ont pour buts la maîtrise et la prédiction de l'évolution des propriétés de la surface, cela en fonction à la fois des conditions tribologiques mais également de la distance dans deux environnements d'étude: à sec et lubrifié. Un premier volet de ce travail consiste à caractériser finement le comportement mécanique en compression du composite Carbone/Carbone 2,5D, afin de comprendre les répercussions du frottement en sous-couche. Après la détermination des caractéristiques élastiques du matériau, le comportement élasto-endommageable en compression est relevé. Ces caractéristiques sont implémentées dans une simulation 1D et permettent de reproduire les courbes d'essais de compression cyclique à contrainte croissante. Parallèlement, une étude du comportement tribologique du C/C 2,5D à sec via des essais courts a permis de connaître les caractéristiques des coefficients de frottement de différents états de surface. Les coefficients de frottement moyens sont mis en relation avec le paramètre de rugosité Sk. Les essais tribologiques longue distance mis en oeuvre ont modifié l'état de surface des échantillons tant sur le plan topographique que sur le plan morphologique. Des fissures en sous-couche apparaissent, conséquence des efforts tribologiques subis. Ces observations ont menés à la détermination d'un mécanisme d'évolution d'état de surface des disques en environnement sec. Enfin, deux types d'essais en environnement lubrifié ont été proposés, afin de séparer le comportement ponctuel d'un état de surface du comportement tribologique avec la distance. Premièrement, une procédure d'essais tribologiques courts a été mise en place et s'affiche comme un moyen de caractérisation d'état de surface in-situ à part entière, avec des caractéristiques des courbes de Stribeck directement liées aux états morphologiques et topographiques. Ensuite, un plan d'expérience réunit les essais longs destinés à modifier l'état de surface d'éprouvettes pour plusieurs jeux de paramètres tribologiques. Les courbes de Stribeck de ces nouveaux états de surface sont analysées. Ainsi, les états de surface expérimentaux sont comparés à ceux des disques de frein industriels. / This study focuses on the performance of 2.5D Carbon/Carbon composite materials for low energy aeronautical braking. During aircraft life, the surface condition of the brake discs evolves and the braking performances change. The experimental studies and the modelizations carried out aim in controlling and predicting the evolution of surface properties, both in terms of the tribological conditions but also of the distance in two study environments: dry and lubricated. For this purpose, a characterization of the mechanical behavior in compression of the 2.5D Carbon/Carbon composite is performed in order to understand the repercussions of friction underlayer. The elastic characteristics of the material and the elasto-damaging behavior in compression are identified. These characteristics are used in a 1D simulation, that allows reproducing the cyclic compression test curves with increasing stress. At the same time, a study of the tribological behavior of the dry 2.5D C/C composite via short tests made it possible to know the friction coefficient of different surface conditions. The average friction coefficients are related to the roughness. The long-range tribological tests used have modified the topographic and morphological surface conditions of the samples. Cracks appear at the underlayer, as a result of the tribological efforts. These observations led to the determination of a mechanism for the evolution of surface condition of discs in a dry environment. Finally, two types of lubricated environment tests have been proposed in order to separate the instantaneous behavior of a surface state from the tribological behavior with the distance. First, a short tribological test procedure is set up and is displayed as a means of in-situ surface condition characterization in its own right, with characteristics of the Stribeck curves directly related to the morphological and topographical states. Next, an experimental plan combines long tests to modify the surface condition of test pieces for several sets of tribological parameters. The Stribeck curves of these new surface states are analyzed. Experimental surface conditions are compared with those of industrial brake disks.

Les matériaux composites organiques pour garniture de frein à friction sont le fruit d’une élaboration complexe, composée d’une succession d’étapes (mélange de constituants, préformage à froid, moulage à chaud, post-cuisson) ce qui rend difficile la maitrise du lien entre procédé, propriétés et comportement de ces matériaux en particulier du fait des synergies entre les constituants formant le mélange d’une part, et entre la composition et le procédé de fabrication d’autre part. Les travaux de thèse se sont focalisés sur deux étapes de fabrication, le moulage à chaud et la post cuisson, avec l’objectif de mieux comprendre l’influence de certains paramètres du procédé de fabrication sur les performances des matériaux : la température et la durée de moulage à chaud, la durée de post cuisson. L’analyse a porté sur la compréhension des liens entre la microstructure, les propriétés, le comportement tribologique et les mécanismes de frottement et d’usure, par le biais d’une démarche expérimentale fondée sur des formulations matériaux simplifiées ainsi que sur des essais d’usure élémentaires, spécifiques aux sollicitations de freinage / Organic composite friction materials for brake lining result from a complex elaboration made up of successive stages (mixture of constituents, cold preforming, hot molding, post-curing) that makes difficult the mastery of the link between process, properties and behaviour of friction material, especially because of synergies between constituents on one hand, and between composition and manufacturing process on the other hand. Two manufacturing stages were involved in this study, the hot molding and the post-curing, with the aim of a better understanding of the influence of certain parameters of the manufacturing process: the temperature and the duration of hot molding, and the duration of post curing. The analysis has focused on the understanding the relationship between microstructure, properties, tribological behaviour and friction and wear mechanisms of materials.The experimental approach was based on the development of simplified formulations of friction material, and on an elementary wear test specifically designed for braking loadings

The subject of this thesis is the analysis of the negative effects associated with the operation of a trailer for a personal vehicle with respect to the design speed, technical checks and analysis related legislation. Its work is drawn from the measurement, cooperation with leading Czech production plant trailers Vezeko s.r.o., an organization engaged in the implementation of engineering controls DEKRA Automobil a.s. and available literature, including electronic resources. Results of the work end with proposals for specific measures to minimize the identified adverse effects.

This thesis is dealing with a detailed analysis of electromechanical brake used in emergency situations to stop the electric motor. Environmental influences, bad material proposal or bad design parameters can significantly limit the behaviour of a brake. The thesis presents several approaches to avoid these limitations, to limit the reaction time and achieve better results. The attached programs can be used either for innovation, or for the new brake design based on the entry requirements.

Durch das I-FAS der TU Chemnitz wurde im Rahmen des AKTIV-Projektes eine Probandenstudie zur Akzeptanz von Systemausprägungen einer Aktiven Gefahrenbremsung (AGB) bei PKW durchgeführt. Unter Verwendung eines stehenden Hindernisses wurden sechs Systemausprägungen verglichen, die von den AGB-Partnern in zwei Versuchsträger implementiert wurden. Die sechs Systemausprägungen werden nahezu identisch bewertet, solange Probanden keine Vergleichsmöglichkeit zu anderen Systemausprägungen haben. Wenn es zu einem Fahrereingriff kommt, ist der Eingriffszeitpunkt des Fahrers unabhängig von der gefahrenen Systemausprägung.

Collision avoidance is an essential component of autonomous shipping. As ships begin to advance towards autonomy, developing an advisory system is one of the first steps. An advisory system with a strong collision avoidance component can help the crew act more quickly and accurately in dangerous situations. One way to avoid colission is to make the vessel stop as fast as possible. In this work, two scenarios are studied, firstly, stopping along a predefined path, and secondly, stopping within a safe area defined by surrounding obstacles. The first scenario was further worked with to formulate a real-time solution. Movements of a vessel, described in three degrees of freedom with continuous dynamics, were simulated using mathematical models of the forces acting on the ship. Nonlinear optimal control problems were formulated for each scenario and solved numerically using discretization and a direct multiple shooting method. The results for the first problem showed that the vessel could stop without much deviation from the path. Paths with different curvatures were tested, and it was shown that a slightly longer distance was traveled when the curvature of the path was greater. The results for the second problem showed that the vessel stays within the safe area and chooses a relatively straight path as the optimal way of stoping. This results in a shorter distance traveled compared to the solution of the first problem. Two different real-time approaches were formulated, firstly a receding-horizon approach and secondly a lookup-based approach. Both approaches were solved with real-time feasibility, where the receding-horizon approach gave a better solution while lookup-based approach had a shorter computational time.
