In order to improve the reliability and safety of more electric aircraft（MEA）, this paper proposes a new integrated self-powered brake system（ISBS） for MEA. It uses a hydraulic pump geared to the main wheel to recover a small part of the kinetic energy of a landing aircraft. The recovered energy then serves as the hydraulic power supply for brake actuators. It does not require additional hydraulic source, thus removing the pipelines between an EDP and brake actuators. In addition, its self-powered characteristic makes it possible to brake as usual even in an emergency situation when the airborne power is lost. This paper introduces the working principle of the ISBS and presents a prototype. The mathematical models of a taxiing aircraft and the ISBS are established. A feedback linearization control algorithm is designed to fulfill the anti-skid control. Simulations are carried out to verify the feasibility of the ISBS, and experiments are conducted on a ground inertia brake test bench. The ISBS presents a good performance and provides a new potential solution in the field of brake systems for MEA.展开更多

To study air braking characteristics of long freight trains, an approach for simulating air brake systems based on fuid dynamics theory was proposed. The structures and working mechanisms of locomotive and wagon air brakes are introduced, and mathematical models of the pipes, brake valves, reservoirs or chambers, cylinders, etc., are presented.Besides, the dynamic motions of parts in the main valve are considered. The simulation model of the whole air brake system is then formulated, and the solving method based on the finite-difference method is used. New efficient pipe boundary conditions without iterations are developed for brake pipes and branch pipes, which can achieve higher computational efficiency. The proposed approach for simulating the air brake system is validated by comparing with published measured data. Simulation results of different train formations indicate that models that consider the dynamic behavior of brake pipes are recommended for predicting the characteristics of long trains under service braking conditions.展开更多

To reduce product cost and to use currently available technologies, standard ABS uses only wheel speed sensors to detect wheel angular velocities, which is not enough to directly obtain wheel slip ratios needed by the control unit, but can be used to calculate reference slip ratios with measured wheel angular velocities and the estimated vehicle speed. Therefore, the road friction coefficient, which determines the vehicle deceleration during severe braking, is an important parameter in estimating vehicle speed. This paper analyzes wheel acceleration responses in simulations of severe braking on different road surfaces and selects a pair of specific points to identify the wheel acceleration curve for each operating condition, such as road surface, pedal braking torque and wheel vertical load. It was found that the curve using the selected points for each road surface clearly differs from that of the other road surfaces. Therefore, different road surfaces can be distinguished with these selected points which represent their corresponding road surfaces. The analysis assumes that only wheel speed sensors are available as hardware and that the road cohesion condition can be determined in the initial part of the severe braking process.展开更多

With the help of the several kinds of sensors mounted in driveline for the total traction force estimation, EPB can obtain well performance on drive-off assistance and automatic parking brake. Furthermore, its AUTOHOLD function can realize automatic parking brake and ease the driver. However, given that the higher cost and complexity of this traction force estimation method based on the driveline sensors and its slower response resulted by applying maximum parking force for safety parking while driving off, a novel automatic parking brake system without these transmission system sensors, such as clutch position sensor for the cars with manual transmission, is proposed in this paper, including its control scheme and application test. Firstly, the indirect judgement method of the appropriate moment to release the parking brake, which is based on the car pitch moment when it drives off, is introduced according to the force analysis when the car is ready to go. Then a pragmatic mass estimation method for proper brake force calculation is proposed for improving the drive-off performance. In addition, for the convenience and drivability of skillful driver, as well as the system reliability, a mechanical redundant design to reserve the conventional handbrake lever is also described. Finally, various simulations based on CarSim software and road tests are performed to validate its effectiveness.展开更多

Recently, EVs with in-wheel-motors have drawn increasing attention owing to their greatest advantages. Wheels torques are precisely and swiftly controlled thanks to electric motors and their advanced driving techniques. In this paper, a regenerative-ABS control RABS is proposed for all-in-wheel-motors-drive EVs. The RABS is realized as a pure electronic braking system called brake-by-wire. A coordination strategy is suggested to control RABS compromising three layers. First, wheels slip control takes place, and braking torque is calculated in the higher layer. In the coordinate interlayer, torque is allocated between actuators ensuring maximal energy recovery and vehicle stability. While in the lower layer, actuator control is performed. The RABS effectiveness is validated on a 3-DOF EVSimulink model through two straight-line braking manoeuvres with low and high initial speeds of 50 km/h and 150 km/h, respectively. Both regular and emergency braking manoeuvres are considered with ABS enabled and disabled for comparison. Simulation results showed the high performance of the proposed RABS control in terms of vehicle stability, brake response, stopping distance, and battery re-charging.展开更多

文摘Electrical Parking Brake(EPB) has been popularly used in passenger cars over the past ten years. With the help of the several kinds of sensors mounted in driveline for the total traction force estimation, EPB can obtain well performance on drive-off assistance and automatic parking brake. Furthermore, its AUTOHOLD function can realize automatic parking brake and ease the driver. However, given that the higher cost and complexity of this traction force estimation method based on the driveline sensors and its slower response resulted by applying maximum parking force for safety parking while driving off, a novel automatic parking brake system without these transmission system sensors, such as clutch position sensor for the cars with manual transmission, is proposed in this paper, including its control scheme and application test. Firstly, the indirect judgement method of the appropriate moment to release the parking brake, which is based on the car pitch moment when it drives off, is introduced according to the force analysis when the car is ready to go. Then a pragmatic mass estimation method for proper brake force calculation is proposed for improving the drive-off performance. In addition, for the convenience and drivability of skillful driver, as well as the system reliability, a mechanical redundant design to reserve the conventional handbrake lever is also described. Finally, various simulations based on CarSim software and road tests are performed to validate its effectiveness.
文摘The coefficient of friction(COF)is one of the most important parameters to evaluate the performance of a brake system.To design proper brake systems,it is important to know the COF when estimating the brake force and resulting torque.It is challenging to simulate the COF since friction in disc brakes is a complex phenomenon that depends on several parameters such as sliding velocity,contact pressure,materials,and temperatures,etc.There is a lack of studies found in the literature focusing on simulation of the COF for a full brake system based on tribometer material characterization.The aim of this work is therefore to investigate the possibility to use a finite element analysis(FEA)approach combined with a COF pv-map to compute the global COF of a disc brake system.The local COF is determined from a pv-map for each local sliding velocity and contact pressure determined by the FEA.Knowing the local COF,the braking force of the entire brake system and the global COF can be evaluated.Results obtained by the simulation are compared with dyno bench test of the same brake system to investigate the validity of the simulation approach.Results show that the simulation is perfectly in line with the experimental measurements in terms of in-stop COF development,but slightly higher with a positive offset for every braking.

文摘Recent developments have demonstrated that the brake pedal simulator(BPS)is becoming an indispensable apparatus for the break-by-wire systems in future electric vehicles.Its main function is to provide the driver with a comfortable pedal feel to improve braking safety and comfort.This paper presents the development and control of an adjustable BPS,using a disk-type magnetorheological(MR)damper as the passive braking reaction generator to simulate the traditional pedal feel.A detailed description of the mechanical design of the MR damper-based BSP(MRDBBPS)is presented in this paper.Several basic performance experiments on the MRDBBPS prototype are conducted.A returnto-zero(RTZ)algorithm is proposed to avoid hysteresis and improve the repeatability of the pedal force.In addition,an RTZ algorithm-based real-time current-tracking controller(RTZRC)is designed in consideration of the response lag of the coil circuit.Finally,an experimental system is established by integrating the MRDBBPS prototype into a selfdeveloped automotive MR braking test bench(AMRBTB),and several control and braking experiments are performed.This research proposes a RTZRC control algorithm which can significantly increase the tracking accuracy of the brake pedal characteristic curve,particularly at a high pedal velocity.Additionally,the designed MRDBBPS prototype can achieve an effective and favorable control of the AMRBTB with a good repeatability.

文摘The objective of the paper was to compare values of the muzzle brake efficiency coefficient for a rifle with active or inactive automatics systems.Special laboratory stand designed for investigating the recoil process was used.The motion of the rifle was detected by the use of the laser interferometer and the optical camera.The recoil velocity time courses were determined by smoothing and differentiation of experimental position records.The results of the experiments indicated that in the case of an active automatics system two values of the recoil velocity can be used for calculation of the energetic efficiency coefficient:the maximum recoil velocity and the final recoil velocity at the end of the automatics action cycle.The values of the coefficient,calculated using these two values of the recoil velocity,distinctly differ.However,it was shown that their values indicate the same relation between the efficiency of various muzzle brakes.The value of the efficiency coefficient,determined on the basis of the final recoil velocity value,is practically the same as that determined on the basis of the final recoil velocity value for the rifle with an inactive automatics system.

文摘Based on the modal coupling theory,the rotor and stator contact stiffness and axial relative velocity are considered to build an electric aircraft brake dynamic system model in this study.Both the complex modal analysis and transient dynamic analysis methods are used to study the aircraft brake squeal performance and vibratory mechanism.The unstable vibration modes indicate that the out-of-plane vibration plays an important role and the feed-in energy is larger than the output energy in the brake rotor–stator module so that brake squeal takes place.Then the influences of the contact stiffness,friction damping and frictional coefficient on the brake squeal system are carried out,laying the foundation for the three proposed vibration suppression methods.Results show that the coefficient negative-slope condition will intensify the vibration.Also,a linear relationship between the squeal factor and the frictional coefficient is obtained to provide a guidance to predict squeal stability under more conditions.Vibration reduction design shows that adding a damping layer to the brake mechanism and chamfering the edge of braking stators both can reduce brake squeal effectively,while slotting braking stators is invalid in aircraft braking system.

文摘ABS is an active safety system which showed a valuable contribution to vehicle safety and stability since it was first introduced. Recently, EVs with in-wheel-motors have drawn increasing attention owing to their greatest advantages. Wheels torques are precisely and swiftly controlled thanks to electric motors and their advanced driving techniques. In this paper, a regenerative-ABS control RABS is proposed for all-in-wheel-motors-drive EVs. The RABS is realized as a pure electronic braking system called brake-by-wire. A coordination strategy is suggested to control RABS compromising three layers. First, wheels slip control takes place, and braking torque is calculated in the higher layer. In the coordinate interlayer, torque is allocated between actuators ensuring maximal energy recovery and vehicle stability. While in the lower layer, actuator control is performed. The RABS effectiveness is validated on a 3-DOF EVSimulink model through two straight-line braking manoeuvres with low and high initial speeds of 50 km/h and 150 km/h, respectively. Both regular and emergency braking manoeuvres are considered with ABS enabled and disabled for comparison. Simulation results showed the high performance of the proposed RABS control in terms of vehicle stability, brake response, stopping distance, and battery re-charging.
