Automotive Calculating Braking Forces of a Disc and Drum Brake .

AI Thread Summary
To calculate braking forces for a car transitioning from rear drums to discs, key formulas involve weight distribution at the rear wheels, maximum speed, and maximum deceleration. Understanding longitudinal acceleration is crucial for determining braking distance. Theoretical concepts related to braking dynamics can be found in the referenced material on the forum. Accurate calculations are essential for effective braking performance. The discussion emphasizes the importance of applying these principles to ensure safety and efficiency in vehicle braking systems.

Hello ,
I have to change a car's rear drums to discs . I have the weight at each of the rear wheels . Using DAC I know the max speed and max Decelerations sustained by the car . What are the basic formulae used to calculate the braking forces and the braking distance .
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
Look at the theory at the bottom of this page (Theory »» Longitudinal acceleration »» Braking).
 
Thank You , it was helpful .
 

Thread 'Race car suspension Class'

Posted June 2024 - 15 years after starting this class. I have learned a whole lot. To get to the short course on making your stock car, late model, hobby stock E-mod handle, look at the index below. Read all posts on Roll Center, Jacking effect and Why does car drive straight to the wall when I gas it? Also read You really have two race cars. This will cover 90% of problems you have. Simply put, the car pushes going in and is loose coming out. You do not have enuff downforce on the right...

Thread 'Cantilever help'

I'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly

Thread 'What's the most likely cause for this carbon seal crack?'

We have a molded carbon graphite seal that is used in an inline axial piston, variable displacement hydraulic pump. One of our customers reported that, when using the “A” parts in the past, they only needed to replace them due to normal wear. However, after switching to our parts, the replacement cycle seems to be much shorter due to “broken” or “cracked” failures. This issue was identified after hydraulic fluid leakage was observed. According to their records, the same problem has occurred...
