The paper considers a method for calculation and evaluation of an automated brake proportioning system and it also describes assessment of efficiency while using cohesion forces of an automated system during vehicle braking process (MAZ 256200 taken as an example). A method for efficiency estimation of the vehicle braking equipped with an automated brake proportioning system is graphically presented in the paper. A comparable analysis has been made in order to evaluate vehicle braking efficiency in three various conditions of its wheel motion during braking process. The paper contains description of braking processes for a vehicle at its idealized braking, at braking with an operating automated system and at braking with blocked wheels. Mathematical dependences have been proposed and they make it possible to calculate a coefficient of cohesion forces used by an automated brake proportioning system on the basis of time parameters for vehicle braking process. The proposed mathematical dependences take into account design peculiarities of the automated system, i.e. a diagram of modulator arrangement on axes of the vehicle. The executed analysis for calculation accuracy of the coefficient pertaining to use of cohesion forces of the automated system with and without taking into accout rolling force resistance of the vehicle wheels has demonstrated a possibility to apply the proposed calculation methods for carrying out auto-technical expertise while investigating road-traffic accidents involving transport facilities equipped with such systems as ABS. The paper proposes a dependence for identification of a vehicle braking distance on the basis of the coefficient on use of cohesion forces by the automated brake proportioning system. The executed experimental investigations on both test and serial models of the automated brake proportioning system have allowed to justify theoretical discussions concerning application of tyre-road adhesion in the operational process of the vehicle brake proportioning system. The investigation results have shown high efficiency of the test automated brake proportioning system developed by Chair of Automobiles in the name of A. B. Hredescul at Kharkiv National Automobile and Road University under the following braking conditions: dry road surface and compacted snow cover.В статье рассмотрен метод расчета и оценки автоматизированной системы регулирования тормозного усилия, а также выполнена оценка эффективности использования силы сцепления автоматизированной системой в процессе торможения колесного транспортного средства (на примере автобуса МАЗ 256200).

Brake Strategy Analysis for Industrial Normal-closed Brake Based on Rotational Inertia Test and Simulation

Industrial brakes pose the dilemma of weighing brake capability against brake impact since the brake torque cannot be adjusted. On the one hand, the brake torque may be insufficient to stop the movement within a limited distance or parking position. On the other hand, the brake torque may be so high it can damage the transmission chain. In this study, the traditional brake strategy and the field oriented control (FOC) brake strategy were compared through simulation and a rotational inertia test. The influence of the rated brake torque and the open-closed ratio were obtained. Based on the test and simulation results, a semi-empirical formula that defines the relationship between relative brake capability and open-closed ratio was developed. Additional simulations were performed to analyze the performance of the brake in a flexible transmission chain. As an industrial application example, the benefits and the cost of a 'smart brake' based on the FOC brake strategy were analyzed. The results indicate that the equivalent brake torque with the FOC brake strategy is a function of the real-time controllable input and open-closed ratio, which can be conducted during the braking procedure. This can be an efficient way to solve the above problems

Chitosan-zinc oxide composite for active food packaging Applications

Chitosan-zinc oxide (C-ZnO) films were prepared by a simple one pot procedure. In order to investigate the property of C-ZnO films, two composite films were prepared by varying the loading of ZnO and compared with pure chitosan film (C). The films were character-ized by various techniques such as FTIR, DSC, tensile, contact angle and water vapour permeability. FTIR analysis showed changes in hydrogen bonds band at 3351 cm-1 compared to pure chitosan film. The incorporation of ZnO in chitosan films increased the contact angle by 30.5% in C-ZnO1.0 film while water vapour transmission rate decreased by 7.8% compared to C film. From the tensile test, C-ZnO0.5 and C-ZnO1.0 films were found to be much superior by 1.5 times and 2.5 times respectively compared to bare chitosan film. Larger inhibition ring (by 47%) was exhibited by C-ZnO1.0 as compared to C-ZnO0.5 when tested against S.aureus. From the results, it is displayed that the incorporation of zinc oxide to chitosan improve their properties which also shown the potential to become a candi-date for food active packaging

Design and Simulation Analysis for Integrated Vehicle Chassis-Network Control System Based on CAN Network

Due to the different functions of the system used in the vehicle chassis control, the hierarchical control strategy also leads to many kinds of the network topology structure. According to the hierarchical control principle, this research puts forward the integrated control strategy of the chassis based on supervision mechanism. The purpose is to consider how the integrated control architecture affects the control performance of the system after the intervention of CAN network. Based on the principle of hierarchical control and fuzzy control, a fuzzy controller is designed, which is used to monitor and coordinate the ESP, AFS, and ARS. And the IVC system is constructed with the upper supervisory controller and three subcontrol systems on the Simulink platform. The network topology structure of IVC is proposed, and the IVC communication matrix based on CAN network communication is designed. With the common sensors and the subcontrollers as the CAN network independent nodes, the network induced delay and packet loss rate on the system control performance are studied by simulation. The results show that the simulation method can be used for designing the communication network of the vehicle

STRAIGHT LINE BRAKING PERFORMANCE OF A ROAD VEHICLE WITH NON LINEAR TIRE STIFFNESS FORMULATION

The capability of a road vehicle equipped with an Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) to come to a safe stop depends on factors such as dynamic force between tire and road, surface adhesion coefficient, and the vertical profile of the road. When in panic, a driver\u27s reaction is to step hard on the brakes to make the vehicle stop as soon as possible. Although the use of modern technologies such as ABS and Electronic Stability Control (ESC) have reduced the number of accidents significantly, any further improvement in stopping distance would only complement these technologies. Michelin has undertaken the development of a non-pneumatic tire (called the TWEELTM) which can decouple the ride comfort and handling capability of road vehicles. Studies in the ride comfort area have shown reductions in the tire-to-road dynamic force using the TWEELTM. This might lead to shorter stopping distances while braking. The primary focus area of this thesis is to evaluate the straight line braking performance of a 2007 BMW Mini Cooper with TWEELsTM on randomly irregular roads. Different vertical road profiles were utilized to evaluate their effect on braking. A comparison of results is made between the original equipment (OE) tires and the TWEELTM. Additionally, the effect on vehicle braking of tuning the shock absorbers was also studied. A eight degree-of-freedom model that focuses on vertical and longitudinal dynamics was developed in Simulink. A rather simple brake system with an ideal antilock system (ABS) was used to avoid wheel lock-up in hard braking scenarios. A Pacejka tire model was employed as well. The nonlinear tire stiffness and the nonlinear shock absorber curves were incorporated in the model using look-up tables. The model was validated in the time domain using the results from a vehicle model in CarSim for similar tests. For simulation on a road profile similar to weathered asphalt at Michelin\u27s Laurens Proving Grounds (WA-LPG), the selection between TWEELTM and OE tire does not affect braking performance. Also, the frequency content of the \u27smooth\u27 road profile had minimal effect on stopping distance. However, as RMS roughness of road profiles increased, the stopping distance increased for both the TWEELTM and the OE tire and the \u27softer\u27 TWEELTM yielded a shorter stopping distance than the OE tire. When shock damping was altered, no change in stopping distance was found on \u27smooth\u27 roads and \u27firmer\u27 shocks performed better on \u27rough\u27 road profiles
