Table of Contents

Part 1 Brake refinement - I: a study of the interface pressure distribution between pad and rotor, the coefficient friction and calliper mounting geometry with regard to brake noise; brake squeal reduction by the design of the interface calliper -friction pads - brake shoe holder; study of initialization and inhibition of disc-brake squeal; modelling of high frequency disc-brake squeal; evaluation of friction materials' tribological properties and their effect on the dynamic response of disc-brake systems; modelling of disc-brake judder to passenger cars. Part 2 Brake refinement - II: the use of high-speed ESPI and near-field sound pressure measurements to study brake-disc modal behaviour; noise investigations of a commercial disc-brake using holographic interferometry; improving comfort of friction brakes; summary of the brake noise recommended practice draft developed by the US working group on brake noise. Part 3 Materials and modelling: CAE prediction and experimental verification of maximum temperature of cool running 72 curve fin brake rotor design; finite element prediction of inelastic strain accumulation of cast-iron brake rotors; investigation of CV rotor cracking test procedures; initial dynamometer and laboratory evaluations of thermally sprayed aluminium brake discs; thermally sprayed surface coatings suitable for use in automotive brake and clutch applications; the role of engineered cashew particles on performance; multi-criteria optimization in the design of composites for friction applications; composite materials in transport friction applications. Part 4 Braking systems and vehicle performance: measured benefits of the exhaust pressure modulator valve (EPMV) used for retardation of commercial vehicles; testing of ABS operation in stand conditions; vehicle sensitivity to brake torque differences - test and simulation results; steering drift during braking; developments in compressed air management for CV braking systems.
