Brake-by-wire is a frontier technology that will allow many braking functions to switch to electronic actuation. Its deployment will lead to more effective and safe braking systems, elimination of hydraulic technology, release of space and reduction of maintenance. Design and implementation of brake-by-wire systems has recently attracted interest from researchers in automotive and control engin...

Reducing start and stop time without destroying the pavement surface is important in enhancing productivity of double-drum roller and compact quality of asphalt pavement, but it is difficult in confirming the maximum brake deceleration or start acceleration of double-drum roller. Dynamic analysis is used in studying these questions, and a mathematic model of double-drum roller is established, b...

The relationship between the presented work and energy conservation is direct indirect. Most of literature related to energy-saving focuses on reducing aerodynamic drag cars, which typically leads appearance vehicle motion instabilities at high speeds. Typically, this instability compensated for by moving body components activated above a certain speed left in that position until drops. This ch...

The unique concept of the Self-energising Electro-Hydraulic Brake (SEHB) uses the vehicles kinetic energy as independent brake booster by the principle of self-energisation. This paper presents a new approach for controller synthesis of SEHB using the method of input-output linearisation on basis of a complexity reduced model. Once the control design is achieved, the developed controller is ver...

There are several kinds of metrics should be handled by the brake system of hybrid electric vehicles such as fuel economy, performance and safety. The optimal control of the HEV brake system will be solved by a modelbased approach. Based on the developed vehicle model, a two phase approach is proposed for the coordinated control of the HEV brake system. A high level sliding mode controller is a...

The paper includes the second part of an investigation of the braking process of railway vehicles, dealing with the temperature distribution of a brake block in various load cases and the FE analysis of the phenomenon of thermal elastic deformation. Thermal expansion calculations pointed out to the fact that in case of the contact area, the radius of the operating surface of the brake block inc...

Brakes and tires are the major contributors for catastrophic failure of ground vehicles. Braking system is the utmost important besides tire to ensure the safety of users and vehicle. Ensuring good condition of brake lining is very crucial to ensure the efficiency of the braking system, where, the worn off brake lining not only endangers life but also damages the entire brake associated parts s...

in the present study, development of new asbestos-free brake pad using lingo-cellulosic fibers and nano aluminum oxide particles was investigated. variable factors were the type of lignocellulosic materials (jute, bagass and rice husk) and the size of aluminum particles (nano and micron). these newly formulated brake pads have been tested under the grey cast iron disc. friction coefficient and ...

With the diversification of robots, modularization robots has been attracting attention. In our previous study, we developed a robot that mimics principle human joint drive using straight-fiber-type pneumatic rubber artificial muscle (“artificial muscle”) and magnetorheological fluid brake (“MR brake”). The variable viscoelastic joints have modularized. Therefore, this paper evaluates basic cha...
