How do you calculate brake pedal force?
How is it calculated?
- Measure the distance from the pedal’s pivot point to the center of the pedal pad. This is measurement “A” in the diagram.
- Measure the distance from the pedal’s pivot point to the center of the master cylinder pushrod.
- “A” divided by “B” equals the pedal ratio.
What is the braking efficiency?
The braking efficiency is the ability of the brake to reduce the vehicle speed up to a possible stop, to maintain a certain speed of the descending vehicle on a slope, or to keep the vehicle on a slope [1].
How do you measure the brake piston force?
First, the equation for calculating the surface area of a circle (caliper or master cylinder piston) is p(3.14) x radius2. Second, pressure is equal to the force divide by the area or pounds per square inch. The rest of the math is just multiplication, division and addition/subtraction.
What is SAE SUPRA 2017 brake design?
The basic aim of this work is to achieve the required standards for brake design in SAE SUPRA and to scale through the dynamic test at the competition. The designing of the whole braking system complied with all of the templates and envelopes required by the SAE SUPRA 2017 rules.
How do you calculate braking force on a motorcycle?
(Motorcyclists beware)! The total braking force required can simply be calculated using Newton’s Second Law. The braking force can only be generated if the wheel does not lock because the friction of a sliding wheel is much lower than a rotating one.
What is the best software for braking system analysis?
Fundamentals of vehicle statics and dynamics and previous research works are kept in the core of designing and sanalysis of various components of braking system. Along with it, different ‘Engineering Software’ like SOLIDWORK and ANSYS are utilized for the analysis of brake disc, considering structural and thermal aspects.
How do you decide which wheels will need braking?
Having decided which wheels will need braking to generate sufficient braking force the torque requirements of each wheel need to be determined. For some legislation the distribution between front and rear brakes is laid down. This may be achieved by varying the brake size or more likely using a valve to reduce the actuation pressure.
