Solver Variable |
Comments |
---|---|
Computes pressure in front brake line. PFront = KBrake boost * FFront/AreaMC_front |
|
Rear brake line pressure |
Computes pressure in front brake line. PRear = KBrake boost * FRear/AreaMC_rear |
Brake bias (forwards) |
User defined solver variable. FFront = BB * FMC |
User defined solver variable. Default brake boost ratio is a user defined constant in the Brake system info dataset. |
|
Driver brake demand |
User defined solver variable. If used in an analysis (a driving analysis for example), analysis is expected to override this solver variable. |
• | Action reaction torque between knuckle and wheel hub at the wheel center. |
• | Direction is opposite to the angular velocity of the wheel hub. |
• | Torque magnitude is calculated according to the following equation: Friction torque on the brake Disk = |
