Abstract:
This report presented by D Olsen Engineering Consultants covers a range of information in relation to braking systems. A disc brake has been collected and then examined for various analyses, including the history of the disc brake, material analysis, material alternatives that could have been used and material modification that took place on the component prior to assembly. The relevant OH&S issues associated with the manufacturing and material modification that took place on the disc brake is also highlighted. Other area’s this report covers includes a mechanical analysis which I have solved five assigned questions, a detailed overview of the ABS and Regenerative braking systems and their effectiveness also societies acceptance to the systems. Pascals Principle is also highlighted in this report. It is explained how Archimedes and Pascal’s principle can be applied to the hydraulic braking system. Glossary at the end of this report covers all references and sources where information was sourced from.
Analysis:
History:
A disc-styled braking system was first introduced into the automobile world in the 1890’s. The first calliper-type automobile disc brake was implemented by Frederick William Lanchester in his Birmingham, UK factory in 1902 and used successfully on Lanchester cars. The limited availability of different metals at the time meant the Lanchester had to use Copper as the braking medium acting on the disc.
Due to the condition of the roads at the time, which consisted mainly of dirt and gravel roads,
