The multiple dynamometer described in this paper is capable of testing complete four-wheel braking systems similar to the actual vehicle operation by the use of magnetic tape programming techniques.

A very good friend of mine, noted engine guru, and PHR contributor David Vizard, was once being queried about some aspect of engine theory. The interesting part of the exchange was when the fellow ...

New compositions for brake pad materials have been driven by environmental regulations and the need for enhanced braking systems. Studies on the impact of different materials on the durability, ...

Our domes are on fire thanks to one seemingly simple idea we had for a great story. We wanted to go undercover at five different performance tuning facilities and test each of their chassis dynos ...

In 1995, American Trucking Associations’ Technology & Maintenance Council created a recommended practice (RP) for the classification of aftermarket brake lining materials. The hope was to create a ...

Tire engineers are quick to extol the virtues of testing new designs in the lab using calibrated test fixtures, including dynamometer wheels. Others argue that real world service conditions are the ...
