BRAKE DESIGN AND SAFETY - 2ND EDITION

This second edition (for first edition see IRRD 883633) has been revised and updated to cover newer brake technology, including anti-lock braking systems (ABS), braking by wire, and the mechanical and thermal analysis of disk brakes. Chapters cover elements of braking performance, design and safety, design and analysis of friction brakes, thermal analysis of friction brakes, analysis of mechanical brake systems, analysis of hydraulic brake systems, analysis of air brake systems, single vehicle braking dynamics, braking dynamics of combination vehicles, anti-lock brake systems (ABS) and analysis of brake failure.
