Distance braking

If p is taken to be a constant during a skid, application of Amontons law leads to a very simple relationship between the initial velocity of the vehicle and the length of the skid mark. The initial kinetic energy is mv fl, and this is to be entirely dissipated by the braking action, which amounts to a force F applied over the skid distance d. By Amontons law.

Muzzle Brake. (Freins de bouche in Fr, M lin-dungsbremse in Ger). A cylindrical device with flanged or baffled surfaces which is attached to the muzzle of a gun, usually by threads, to offset a long or complete recoil of the gun when fired. The expanding proplnt gases strike the baffles, thus pushing the gun barrel forward. This action can shorten the actual recoil distance, or it may relieve an overloaded recoil system. The latter would occur when a conventional gun was deliberately overloaded to increase the projectile velocity... 

Bremsstrahlung is emitted by an electron that is accelerated in the attractive force field of the positively charged nucleus. The electron follows a hyperbolic path with a curvature depending on its distance to the nucleus. During the acceleration it emits radiation called bremsstrahlung (literal translation braking radiation ) which gives a...

Our conception ascribes an essential role to braking of the gas by the tube walls. Experiment shows that as the tube diameter increases the distance at which detonation arises also increases. In spherical bombs with central ignition occurrence of detonation has never yet been observed. 

One way or another we have a characteristic time of the chemical reaction which, together with the detonation velocity, yields a characteristic length Dt of occurrence of the chemical reaction. Direct comparison of this length with the tube diameter does not make sense since all motions occur along the tube axis. Therefore we may expect that the characteristic distance of braking and cooling will enter—the quantity d/ where is the dimensionless braking coefficient.10... 

The results of our tentative calculations [formulas (41)—(43)] of the distance at which a stabilized regime is established and the braking and heat transfer cover the entire cross-section show the opposite whereas in the stabilized flow the dependence on the Reynolds number disappears, the distance at which this stabilization occurs is very strongly dependent on the Reynolds number. At our large Reynolds numbers, long before stabilization, at a distance of 5 105d/Re turbulization of the boundary layer takes place. 

According to Rivin and Shchelkin, if one considers a wider interval of pressures and diameters (i.e., of values of the Reynolds number) than that with which Breton [39] worked, the relation between the spin and the limit ceases to be single-valued. Such a single-valued relation would necessarily follow from a theory with only the Rivin-Sokolik criterion Dr /d in which we make only the wave front width concrete, replacing it with the tube diameter d or the braking distance d/ = df (Re). One might think that when the Rivin-Sokolik criterion is increased we will move from the classical picture with a narrow plane front and a velocity which does not differ from the calculated value, to appearance of spin at one value of the criterion, and to the detonation limit at an even larger value of Dr /d. Such simple behavior is indeed observed in series of experiments performed in tubes of constant diameter at constant pressure (Breton), i.e., at a practically constant value of the Reynolds number. 

There are two components to stopping distance reaction distance (distance traveled before the driver applies the brake) and braking distance (distance traveled after the brake is applied). Predict which component will increase more rapidly as the speed increases. Explain your choice. 

Legal requirements. Government requirements like the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 105 and 135 in the United States and ECE R13 in Europe and South America are normally specified to cover vehicle stopping distance under cold, hot, high-speed, thermal and water fade and recovery conditions, and inoperative power assist. Additional requirements are imposed on the selection of raw materials by health, safety, and environmental regulations. These are the minimum requirements that need to be satisfied by a brake system. 

ACC differs from other vehicle control functions, especially in that the function is performed by several electronic control units (ECUs). While conventional control systems consist of a sensor and actuator environment around a central ECU, ACC adds functions to existing systems. A truly new component is the sensor for measuring the distance, relative speed, and lateral position of potential target vehicles, using laser optics or millimeter waves. This component often contains the logic for controlling vehicle movement. The latter is affected by commands of ECUs for engine and brake control electronics.
