  2. 1. Drum Brake Squeal

    Author : Johan Hultén; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; friction induced; squeak; vibration; drum brake; squeal; instability; self-excited; noise;

    Abstract : Drum brake squeal is a common discomfort. The main goal of this thesis is to investigate the mechanisms that generate drum brake squeal and to create a base for the search for solutions. A series of steps towards the understanding of these mechanisms are taken. Firstly, a simple model for friction-induced vibration is presented. READ MORE

  4. 2. Laboratory measurements of airborne emissions from car brakes for clean air

    Author : Guido Perricone; Ulf Olofsson; Fulvio Amato; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Automotive brake; non-exhaust emissions; inertia brake dynamometer; airborne particles; PM10; PN; isokinetic sampling; Rebrake; volatiles; real driving cycle; car brake emission factors; running-in.; Bilbroms; icke-avgasemissioner; skivbromsdynamometer; luftburna partiklar; PM10; PN; isokinetisk provtagning; Rebrake; volatiler; verkliga körcykler; emissionsfaktorer; in-körning.; Machine Design; Maskinkonstruktion;

    Abstract : Brake systems are used to safely stop vehicles. The brake pads are pressed against the brake disc, transforming the kinetic energy of the vehicle into heat to be dissipated. READ MORE

  5. 3. Thermomechanics of block brakes

    Author : Daniel Thuresson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; friction; pin model; contact mechanics; brake; thermo camera; thermomechanical; wear; freight train.; finite element; temperature measurement;

    Abstract : Friction in sliding contacts plays an important role in tribology. Applications can be found in many engineering fields  such as braking of vehicles  in which friction brakes are by far the most common. Thus, an understanding of the mechanisms involved in friction brakes has become more important as the demands on brakes increase. READ MORE

  6. 4. Towards elimination of airborne particles from rail traffic

    Author : Saeed Abbasi; Ulf Sellgren; Ulf Olofsson; Yannick Desplanques; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Airborne; brake block; brake pad; railway; subway; TEI; wheel–rail; wear; Järnvägsgruppen - Tribologi; The KTH Railway Group - Tribology;

    Abstract : Since the investigation of wear particles from rail transport started in the late 1910s, the high mass concentrations of these particles have prompted concern among researchers interested in air quality. However, effective action has yet to be taken because relevant knowledge is still missing. READ MORE
