  • Development of a Leaf Spring U-Bolt Load Transducer: Part of an Onboard Weighing System for Off-Highway Log Trucks
    DEVELOPMENT OF A LEAF SPRING U-BOLT LOAD TRANSDUCER: PART OF AN ONBOARD WEIGHING SYSTEM FOR OFF-HIGHWAY LOG TRUCKS by MITHUN KARUNAKAR SHETTY B.E., The University of Mumbai, 2002 A THESIS SUMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF APPLIED SCIENCE in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES (Forestry) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA May 2006 © Mithun Karunakar Shetty, 2006 ABSTRACT This thesis was motivated by the current concern of brake failure in off-highway log trucks descending steep grades. In order to utilise a guideline being developed for the prediction of safe maximum grades for descent under a range of truck payloads, it is necessary to measure axle weights during loading. A background review found that there are no commercially available on-board weighing systems that can be retrofitted to the drive axles of an off-highway tractor. Therefore, an investigation into the development of an on-board weighing system for the off-highway log trucks was initiated. This research was divided into two stages: preliminary strain measurement with a loaded off-highway tractor, and finite element modelling of a U-bolt from the tractor's leaf spring suspension. A preliminary measurement test was carried out to identify potential suspension components that could act as load transducers for measuring axle weight. The preliminary results showed that incremental strain at two locations on the U-bolt varied linearly with payload, for an incremental load of 22.5 kN. Finite element modelling of the U-bolt was carried out to predict the maximum incremental strain occurring on the U-bolt surface.

  • Q1. How Does the Toe Angle of the Tires Affect the Acceleration of a Vehicle?
    Q1. How does the toe angle of the tires affect the acceleration of a vehicle? Ans:- The toe angle identifies the exact direction the tires are pointed compared to the centerline of the vehicle when viewed from directly above. Toe can also be used to alter a vehicle's handling traits. Increased toe-in will typically result in reduced oversteer, help steady the car and enhance high-speed stability. Increased toe-out will typically result in reduced understeer, helping free up the car, especially during initial turn-in while entering a corner. Q2.What is caster angle? What are the reasons behind giving a positive caster angle to the vehicle? Ans:- Castor angle is the angular displacement of the steering axis from the vertical axis of a steered wheel in a car, motorcycle, bicycle, other vehicle or a vessel, measured in the longitudinal direction. The purpose of this is to provide a degree of self-centering for the steering — the wheel casters around in order to trail behind the axis of steering. This makes a vehicle easier to control and improves its directional stability (reducing its tendency to wander). Positive caster increases negative camber when the wheels are turned due to the geometry of the suspension components. This is good for cornering as it maximizes the area of tire that is in contact with the ground on the outside front wheel, which is under the most load during the turn Q3. What is the reason behind brake-fade? Ans:- Brake fade is caused by a buildup of heat in the braking surfaces and the subsequent changes and reactions in the brake system components and can be experienced with both drum brakes and disc brakes.

  • Coatings for Automotive Gray Cast Iron Brake Discs: a Review
    coatings Review Coatings for Automotive Gray Cast Iron Brake Discs: A Review Omkar Aranke 1,* , Wael Algenaid 1,* , Samuel Awe 2 and Shrikant Joshi 1 1 Department of Engineering Science, University West, 46132 Trollhättan, Sweden 2 R & D Department, Automotive Components Floby AB, 52151 Floby, Sweden * Correspondence: [email protected] (O.A.); [email protected] (W.A.) Received: 7 August 2019; Accepted: 23 August 2019; Published: 27 August 2019 Abstract: Gray cast iron (GCI) is a popular automotive brake disc material by virtue of its high melting point as well as excellent heat storage and damping capability. GCI is also attractive because of its good castability and machinability, combined with its cost-effectiveness. Although several lightweight alloys have been explored as alternatives in an attempt to achieve weight reduction, their widespread use has been limited by low melting point and high inherent costs. Therefore, GCI is still the preferred material for brake discs due to its robust performance. However, poor corrosion resistance and excessive wear of brake disc material during service continue to be areas of concern, with the latter leading to brake emissions in the form of dust and particulate matter that have adverse effects on human health. With the exhaust emission norms becoming increasingly stringent, it is important to address the problem of brake disc wear without compromising the braking performance of the material. Surface treatment of GCI brake discs in the form of a suitable coating represents a promising solution to this problem. This paper reviews the different coating technologies and materials that have been traditionally used and examines the prospects of some emergent thermal spray technologies, along with the industrial implications of adopting them for brake disc applications.

All Rights Reserved Review Article RETARDER USED AS BRAKING SYSTEM IN HEAVY VEHICLES—A REVIEW Shyam Narayan Pandey1*, Abdul Khaliq1, Md Zakaullah Zaka1, Mohd Saad Saleem1 and Mohd Afzal1 *Corresponding Author: Shyam Narayan Pandey, [email protected] Through this paper an initiative is taken to put focus on a special technique of retarder mechanism which is used in automobile industries. In this technique retarder device is used to augment or replace some of the functionsof primary friction-based braking systems, usually on heavy vehicles. Friction-based braking systems are susceptible to ‘brake fade’ when usedextensively for continuous periods, which can be dangerous if brakingperformance drops below what is required to stop the vehicle-forinstance if a truck or bus is descending a long decline. For this reason, such heavy vehicles are frequently fitted with a supplementary system that is not friction- based. Keywords: Retarder, Breaking system, Heavy vehicles INTRODUCTION bringing vehicles to a standstill, as their Retarders are not restricted to road motor effectiveness diminishes as vehicle speed vehicles, but may also be usedin railway systems. The British prototype Advanced Figure 1: Hydraulic Retarder Passenger Train (APT) used hydraulic retarders to allow the high-speed train to stop in the same distance as standard lower Speed trains, as a pure friction-based system was not viable. Retarders serve to slow vehicles, or maintain a steady speed on declines, and help prevent the vehicle ‘runningaway’ by accelerating down the decline.

  • Elimination of Brake Fade in Vehicles by Altering the Brake Disc Size (A Concept)
    ISSN(Online): 2319-8753 ISSN (Print): 2347-6710 International Journal of Innovative Research in Science, Engineering and Technology (An ISO 3297: 2007 Certified Organization) Vol. 4, Issue 11, November 2015 Elimination of Brake Fade in Vehicles by Altering the Brake Disc Size (A Concept) Gowtham.S, Manas M Bhat Dept. of Mechanical Engineering, PES Institute of Technology, Bangalore , India. ABSTRACT: Brakes are one of the most important control components of the vehicle. They contribute very much in the movement of the vehicle. Brakes are generally applied to rotating axles or wheels. The momentum or kinetic energy to stop the vehicle when in motion is converted to heat energy by the friction of brake pads and the rotors which is dissipated into the surrounding air. The main functions of brakes are mainly to stop the vehicle in shortest possible time and to help in controlling the speed of the vehicle. However, with long term use of brakes many problems occur which results in brake failure, leading to a fatal injury caused to the driver and co-passengers. One of the most important causes of brake failure are brake fades. Vehicle braking system fade, or brake fade, is the reduction in stopping power that can occur after repeated or sustained application of the brakes, especially in high load or high speed conditions. For elimination of brake fade, it is necessary for maximum temperature to be less than fade stop temperature. So, to have lesser temperature we alter the parameters dependent on it. Since, stopping time, density of material, specific heat capacity, thermal conductivity and ambient temperature are constants, it is possible to alter heat flux.
