An engine air-brake integration study
The feasibility of operating an engine air-brake (EAB) integrated with a pylon duct bifurcation in a realistic aircraft engine environment has been analyzed. The EAB uses variable exit guide vanes downstream of a high bypass ratio (BPR) fan rotor to produce drag quietly by swirling flow out of the …

Uncertainty analysis of disc brake squeal propensity
Brake squeal is a significant concern to automotive manufacturers because of noise-related customers’ warranty claims. Despite substantial research efforts in the past two decades, the reliable prediction of brake squeal propensity remains as challenging as ever. This is because brake squeal is …

Low-impact friction materials for brake pads
… friction materials for applications in disc brake systems are constituted by composite materials, specifically formulated to ensure proper friction and wear performances, under the sliding contact conditions of braking events. The bases of typical friction compound formulations usually …

Brake-Actuated Steering of Heavy Goods Vehicles
… dissertation describes the development of a ‘brake-actuated steering’ (BAS) concept to actively steer articulated heavy good vehicles (HGV) using low-cost and lightweight steering technology. The system actuation is performed using individually controlled fast-acting pneumatic brake-modulator …

Design of an automated on-car brake lathe
An on-car brake lathe resurfaces disk-brake rotors by rotating them "in place" and making a light cut along the surface of the disk. The primary goal of this thesis is to develop an automated cutting head for an on-car brake lathe. The new cutting head must produce a surface finish that matches or …

Recycling of worn-out vehicular brake pads and discs
Disc brake systems are extensively used in almost all vehicles for braking. The brake pads and discs are usually replaced with new ones before being entirely worn out to maintain their tribological performance. This work highlights the significance of sustainable and environmentally friendly …

Finite Element Modelling of Ventilated Brake Disc Hot Spotting
Hot spotting of automotive disc brakes is an undesired thermal localisation phenomenon, which is a challenge for numerical modelling in terms of both accuracy and efficiency especially for complex disc geometry. In this research, the aim was to develop a computationally efficient finite element …

A comparison of bi-directional disc brake rotor passage designs
… of automobile safety is the braking system. Disc brakes have been widely used in automobiles for sped retardation for over 30 years. During that time, they have developed from a simple disc to a complex disc with channels, vanes, holes and grooves. The stopping capability of disc brakes is …

Adaptive Brake By Wire: From Human Factors to Adaptive Implementation
The introduction of the Brake By Wire is replacing the traditional mechanical control systems with ECUs and it is raising the need to reproduce feelings of eliminated static mechanical components (i.e. hydraulic fluids, pumps and cylinders). Thanks to electromechanical actuators and human-machine …

Measurement and control of brake pedal feel quality in automobile manufacturing
Customer perception of brake pedal feel quality, as related to the perception of the brake pedal feeling soft or mushy, depends on both the customer's subjective judgment of quality and the actual build quality of the brake system. This project analyzed the different factors contributing to the …
