چکیده

In any brake system of an automobile or passenger vehicle, an increase in Master/Wheel cylinder diameter ratio leads to an increase in brake efficiency. This paper focuses on Master/Wheel cylinder diameter effect on the brake efficiency. A VISUAL BASIC computer code was developed for computation of Master/Wheel cylinder diameter ratio corresponding to break efficiency. Aided by the developed software, the effect of increasing the Master/Wheel cylinder ratio on the brake was investigated. Results obtained for case studies examined, at varying Force on the Control pedal, showed that brake efficiency increases with increase with Master/Wheel cylinder diameter ratio. The numerical results were further processed with the EXCELL package, which yields a relationship of form:

Control of Braking Force under Loaded and Empty Conditions on Two Wheeler

The Automobile Braking System has a crucial role for safety of the passenger and riding quality of the vehicle. The braking force mainly depends on normal reaction on the wheel and the coefficient of friction between the tire and the road surface. Whenever a vehicle is loaded, the normal reaction on the rear wheel is increased. Thus the amount of braking force required to halt the vehicle with ...
