商品簡介
Specialists in vehicles, brake, and friction material present 23 papers discussing analytical techniques, refinement studies, materials technology, and testing and effects of all those on the performance of systems and vehicles relating to passenger cars and commercial vehicles. Among the topics are the interface pressure distribution between pad and rotor, the coefficient of friction and calliper mounting geometry with regard to brake noise; evaluating the tribological properties of friction materials and their effect on the dynamic response of a disc-brake system; investigating a commercial disc-brake using holographic interferometry; initial dynamometer and laboratory evaluations of thermally sprayed aluminum brake discs; the role of engineered cashew particles on performance; measured benefits of the exhaust pressure modulator valve used to retard commercial vehicles; and test and simulation results of vehicle sensitivity to brake torque differences.
