Abstract .. This thesis is dedicated to investigate the static and dynamic behavior of a hydro mechanical anti-skid braking system. The pressure reducing valve and the hydro mechanical anti-skid control unit work as basic components fulfill the essential requirements of the anti-skid braking system. The task is accomplished through investigating the dynamic behavior of those basic components to predict the operating characteristics of the complete system over different road conditions. The study aspires to construct detailed mathematical models of the main system components in order to predict the complete system static and dynamic behavior at different operating conditions. A computer simulation program based on MATLAB-SIMULINK software was utilized to provide characteristics of individual components and complete system. The simulation program was used to investigate the effect of the design and constructional parameters on the dynamic behavior of the pilot operated pressure reducing valve; change in inlet pressure, spring stiffness, damping clearance and study the mutual effects of the mentioned parameters change. And finally, prediction of the complete system dynamic behavior. The pilot pressure reducing valve was statically evaluated experimentally and used to validate the simulation results. Comparison between theoretical (simulation) and experimental results of the effect of the pressure reducing valve showed agreement. |
