The effect of brake pad wear on the electromechanical disc system response using MATLAB/Simulink software was investigated in this paper. analysis involves building thermal model and model, calculating required braking force at a constant variable coefficient friction between disc. A comparison responses without during carried out. results show that has major role force, cumulated breaking. sta...

Accelerations and braking of vehicles can be measured and analyzed with different systems and software. In our case, we used the system G-Tech Pro Performance Meter RR w and Performance Analysis System Software (PASS). This system enables measurements of longitudinal accelerations, lateral accelerations and braking. PASS software has two options, the first is Drag Runs, which is designed for th...

Limb design is well conserved among quadrupeds, notably, the knees point forward (i.e. cranial inclination of femora) and the elbows point back (i.e. caudal inclination of humeri). This study was undertaken to examine the effects of joint orientation on individual leg forces and centre of mass dynamics. Steady-speed trotting was simulated in two quadrupedal models. Model I had the knee and elbo...

The 30 second Wingate Anaerobic Test (WAnT) is the gold standard measure of anaerobic performance. The present investigation aimed to determine if a previous WAnT using one body region significantly affected a subsequent WAnT using a different body region. Twelve male university students (n = 12, 23 ± 2 years, 84 ± 16.1 kg, 178.5 ± 7.4 cm) volunteered to complete two repeated WAnT protocols (ei...

The problem of constructing the invariant stabilizer ESP (Electronic Stability Program) car course stability system is considered by implementing two control principles electronic brake force distribution unit EBD Brakeforce Distribution) – principle deviation and external disturbance. values variable parameters stabilization algorithm are selected from conditions for minimizing both static dyn...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of weighted jump squat training with and without eccentric braking. Twenty male subjects were divided into two groups (n = 10 per group), Non-Braking Group and Braking Group. The subjects were physically active, but not highly trained. The program for Non-Braking Group consisted of 6 sets of 6 repetitions of weighted jump squats without re...

Muscle- and movement-specific fascicle-tendon interaction affects the performance of the neuromuscular system. This interaction is unknown among elderly and consequently contributes to the lack of understanding the age-related problems on neuromuscular control. The present experiment studied the age specificity of fascicle-tendon interaction of the gastrocnemius medialis (GM) muscle in drop jum...

While fatalities of car occupants in the EU decreased remarkably over the last decade, Powered Two Wheelers (PTWs) fatalities still increase following the increase of PTW ownership. Autonomous braking systems have been implemented in several types of vehicles and are presently addressed by research in the field of PTWs. A major concern in this context is the rider stability. Experiments with vo...

Anti-lock braking system (ABS) is the most common safety system in the vehicles, which works to increase the generated braking force between the tire and the road surface for enhancing passenger safety specifically related to accident avoidance. However, designing an ABS is a challenging task considering the fact that it is highly nonlinear and a time varying system. The interaction between the...

Under continuous braking and long slope conditions of high intensity for a time, the temperature brake friction plate is extremely high, which leads to poor efficiency in process, even makes force completely lost, More more heavy-duty vehicles high-speed transport are equipped with retarders. As an auxiliary system, vehicle retarder can effectively maintain constant during braking. This paper d...
