2. 1. Vehicle Disc Brake Roughness Noise : Experimental Study of the Interior Noise andVibro-Acoustic Modelling of Suspension Systems

   Author : Eskil Lindberg; Nils-Erik Hörlin; Peter Göransson; Wolfgang Kropp; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; acoustics; disc brake; surface topography; wire brush noise; roughness noise; component mode synthesis; vehicle suspension;

   Abstract : Prediction of vehicle disc brake roughness noise is a non-trivial challenge. In fact, neither the source mechanisms, nor the transfer paths are so far well understood. READ MORE

4. 2. Mechanical braking systems for trains: A study of temperatures, fatigue and wear by experiments and simulations

   Author : Mandeep Singh Walia; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; tread brakes; experiments; temperatures; disc brakes; wear; Railway braking; simulations; fatigue;

   Abstract : Increased demand for shorter travel times, higher axle loads, increased volumes and increased punctuality of railway traffic calls for a better design and management of the railway subsystems. The present thesis deals with aspects of mechanical friction brakes, in the form of tread brakes and disc brakes. READ MORE

5. 3. A study of airborne wear particles from automotive disc brakes

   Author : Jens Wahlström; Ulf Olofsson; Werner Österle; KTH; []
   Keywords : Disc brakes; Airborne wear particles; Nanoparticles; Cellular automaton; Mechanical engineering; Maskinteknik;

   Abstract : During braking, both the disc and pads in disc brakes are worn. Since disc brakes are not sealed,some of the wear particles generated can become airborne. READ MORE

6. 4. On improvement of cast iron brake discs for heavy vehicles

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

   Abstract : Disc brakes are commonly used in motorcycles, passenger cars, commercial vehicles, heavy-duty vehicles, passenger trains and landing gears of airplanes. Depending on the application, a wide variety of brake discs have been developed, with a multitude of designs, geometries and materials. READ MORE
