CHAPTER-1

SYNOPSIS

The technology of pneumatics has gained tremendous importance in the field of workplace rationalization and automation from old-fashioned timber works and coal mines to modern machine shops and space robots. It is therefore important that technicians and engineers should have a good knowledge of pneumatic system, air operated valves and accessories. The aim is to design and develop a control system based an intelligent electronically controlled automotive braking activation system is called “AUTOMATIC PNEUMATIC BRAKING”. This system is consists of IR transmitter and Receiver circuit, Control Unit, Pneumatic braking system. The IR sensor is used to detect the obstacle. There is any obstacle closer to the vehicle (with in 4 feet), the control signal

    Using these reasons this is why we use hydraulic systems for modern aircraft for things such as braking and aileron flight control systems. If we used pneumatics for braking, it would be a slower process and not as accurate, it would also require a much stronger force to keep the effect in motion whereas if a hydraulic system is used the effect is much faster. For things such as braking, efficiency in the movement of the action is vital.…

    Since 1918 the revolution in brake technology has started from the invention of four-wheel hydraulic brake systems by Malcolm Loughead. The hydraulic brakes have replaced mechanical brakes which were in use at that time. The mechanical brakes had several disadvantages. It had a difficulty to brake all the wheels equally at the same time. Hydraulic brake requires the driver to give tremendous force on the brake pedal to slowdown the car. In 1918 It's disadvantages were quickly caught and rectified by 1929, four wheel hydraulic brakes were the standard brakes on the higher priced cars. It took many years to be implemented in the lower price cars. As the speed of the vehicles and their weight increased, better brakes were needed. The major problem in drum brakes is that the heat is not efficiently exhausted. The heat which is produced inside the drum cannot escape because the drum makes a cover so that the wind could not take it away. Whereas disc brakes were kept open to the wind passing. Since 1950's the effort on pedal pressure to operate has been reduced due to the reason that the self-servo effect is caused by the motion of the car. This motion helps in pulling the brake shoe to touch the drum which helps to lower the pedal pressure. In early 1950's the disk brakes were introduced in the market with higher price. In later 1950's, after Chrysler developed the disc brake with assisted movement in the piston inside the master cylinder by which the driver can apply less pedal pressure to have greater braking effectiveness. The next recent development in braking systems was the anti-lock or anti-skid braking. Today, anti-lock brakes were commonly installed many new cars.…

    Mechanical Engineering is the application of the principles of science and mathematics to a design of machinery and equipment used in transportation, manufacturing and energy conversion.The following annotated bibliography contains three sources related to the Mechanical Engineering major. The three sources will include a scholarly journal, a book, and a lab report, with different topics, but all relating to my academic discourse community. The scholarly journal is about a mechanical hand and it covers the basics on how it works without getting too overwhelming. The second source will be a textbook for a general chemistry class, where students are able to learn how to be literate with science. And for third and final source will be a lab report…

    ABSTRACT This paper will identify some prerequisites for brake actuation circuit design, describe three basic types of brake actuation circuitry, and will point out some common problems to be avoided in brake actuation circuit design for off-highway vehicles and equipment. It will deal only with the actuation of service brakes (as opposed to parking brake). Service brake selection, pneumatic, and vacuum powered brake systems are beyond the scope of this paper. PREREQUISITES Although we are assuming fully functional and operational brakes, this paper outlines six key prerequisites that need to be known in order to design the brake actuation circuit. These are: (1) stopping parameters, (2) required brake torque, (3) capacity of the service brakes, (4) brake line pressure, (5) volumetric requirements, and (6) required operator input effort. Because there are many brake actuation circuits possible for a given application, this information must be understood in order for the designer to choose the optimal circuit. In selecting the components for a brake actuation circuit the designer needs to start at the foundation (service) brakes and "work backward" to the method of actuation. By working backward the designer avoids the pitfall described below under the heading "Service Brake Capacity". Stopping Parameters The stopping parameters include deceleration rate, stopping distance, percentage of grade for operation, and vehicle speed. The desired stopping parameters, are used to determine the required brake torque. They can be sourced from one of several publications, such as the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE), the International Standards Organization (ISO), Federal, State, Provincial Government agencies or specified…
