  2. 16. On improvement of brake discs for heavy vehicles - Experimental testing and material modelling

    Author : Gael le Gigan; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; finite element analysis; cast iron; cracking; drag braking; rig experiment; fatigue; hot spots; brake disc; material testing;

    Abstract : Disc brakes are commonly used in motorcycles, passenger cars, commercial vehicles, heavy-duty vehicles, passenger trains and landing gear of airplanes. Depending on the application, different types of brake discs can be found on the market with numerous designs, geometries and materials. READ MORE

  4. 17. Simulation of Thermal Stresses in a Brake Disc

    Author : Asim Rashid; Niclas Strömberg; Tore Vernersson; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : In this thesis thermal stresses in a brake disc during a braking operation are simulated. The simulations are performed by using a sequential approach where the temperature history generated during a frictional heat analysis is used as an input for the stress analysis. READ MORE

  5. 18. Simulation and transient control of diesel engine compression brake

    Author : Peter Templin; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Abstract : The recent development of sophisticated integrated powertrain control systems forheavy duty trucks, including handling of driveline oscillations and automated gear shiftingsystems, requires detailed simulation models during the development process. Thesemodels need to balance the demands for accuracy, ease of parameterization and simulationefficiency. READ MORE

  6. 19. Techniques for Tolerating Soft Errors in Brake-by-Wire Systems

    Author : Daniel Skarin; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : This thesis addresses the problem of tolerating soft errors in brake-by-wire systems. Soft errors are caused by ionizing particles and manifest themselves as bit-flips in memory registers, latches, and flip-flops. As transistors are shrunk to sustain Moore's law, the frequency of such radiation-induced faults increases. READ MORE

  7. 20. A methodology to simulate automotive disc brake tribology and emissions

    Author : Gabriele Riva; Jens Wahlström; Tore Vernersson; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Machine Design; Maskinkonstruktion;

    Abstract : Airborne particle emissions from road vehicles are one of the main issues affecting urban air quality. Vehicle disc brakes are one of the most important sources of non-exhaust emissions, which have recently been considered to be as important as exhaust emissions. READ MORE
