Abstract
Braking performance is one of the most important performance of vehicles, the performance of vehicle braking system affects traffic safety directly. Moreover, brake is an important component of the brake system, so it is necessary for us to conduct detailed studies of vehicle braking system.
The paper first provides an overview of vehicle braking systems, followed by the introduction of the basic components, classification, working principles of them, and finally complete the design and calculation of disk brake systematically.
As brake is the essential part of brake system, the article made a detailed analysis on the structure types and characteristics of disk brake, and then introduced the function of components of it, in addition, completed the choice of structure type and the design and calculation, including the options of various parameters of brake system, the options of performance parameters of disk brake, and the structure design of brake, as well as the accounting for temperature increment and halt vehicle of the disk brake.
Key words:Braking performance disk brake design calculation
