Abstract
The purpose of this study is to develop the design and analysis methods for developing a new type of mechanical antilock braking system with a centrifugal force adjusting function. In this study, we take the centrifugal clutch as the core item of the centrifugal braking system which can automatically adjust the torque with its rotational speed, and we have established basic models, developed conceptual designs, performed numerical analysis and experiments for the complete system. First, we take literature review for the principle of antilock braking systems and make classification for them. Second, the basic model such as mechanical model of centrifugal clutch, wheel model, and skid model are established. Then, through the design method, the requirement and target of the system are set up, and the structure of conceptual design is established. After developing the numerical method to simulate the system and establish an experiment platform for physical experiments, we can use the numerical and experimental results to analyze and compare traditional braking system and the traditional antilock braking system. Finally, the kinetic effects of different design parameters are derived by using the whole vehicle simulation program. Also, the braking performance and applicability with whole vehicle model are discussed in different road surface conditions and different slopes. It is hoped that the complete analysis and design method developed here will be helpful for the research in mechanical system with power or force adjustment.
