Real-Time Measurement of Friction Coefficient in the Frictional Performance Test of Brake Disk

Article Preview

Abstract:

Development and optimizing of friction material formula, oriented to improve the service life and security of brake disk, is largely based on advanced measurement method to accurately provide the friction coefficient. In this study, virtual instrumentation technique was used to design an automation measurement system of friction coefficient. With proper sensors, data of four measured variables such as temperature, rotation speed, pressure and friction torque are acquired by the computer combined with a plug-in data acquisition board. The system work principle, selection of sensors, multi-channel sampling, signal processing and anti-jamming measures have been presented in detail. Those functions of the software such as real-time data acquisition, dynamic wave displaying, high-speed report saving and inquiry, and so on, have been realized by LabWindows/CVI 7.1. The system works safely with high accuracy and friendly user interface in practical operation.
