ENGINEERING DESIGN HANDBOOK ANALYSIS AND DESIGN OF AUTOMOTIVE BRAKE SYSTEMS
Tahun : 1976 Pengarang : DARCOM PAMPHLET Penerbit : HQ,us ARMY MATERIEL DEVELOPMENT &READINESS COMMAND Ket : The Engineering Design Handbook Series of the US Army Materiel Development and Readiness Command is a coordinated series of handbooks containing basic information and fundamental data useful in
the analysis, design, and development of Army materiel and systems.
This handbook treats the braking of motor vehicles such as passenger cars, trucks, and trailers. No
attempt has been made to address fully the braking of specialty vehicles. However, the engineering
relationships presented can be applied to the analysis of any automotive braking system, including those of
tanks and special carriers.
The text is structured so that it can be used by junior engineers with a minimum of supervision provided
by a senior engineer. Chapters 2,3,4,5, and 6 present the analysis of brake system components and should
provide sufficient detail for the computations required for the analysis of entire brake systems. Chapter 7
and those that follow address the analysis and design of the brake system of motor vehicles including the
computation of partial braking performance with the brake system in a failed condition. The examples in
Chapter 14 are presented in considerable detail to provide the engineer with insight into the methodology
used in solving brake problems. A brief description of brake system hardware is provided in Chapter IS for
the engineer not fully familiar with the functioning of various brake system components.
This Handbook was written by Dr. Rudolf Limpert, Salt Lake City, Utah, for the Engineering Handbook Office, Research Triangle Institute, prime contractor to the US Army Materiel Development and
Readiness Command. The handbook is based on lecture material and practical experience gained in industry and university research. Ketegori : SYSTEM ANALYSIS AND DESIGN
