Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
Automobile breaking systems represent an industry worth over 650M pa; yet it is very sensitive to competitor developments in brake noise and judder reduction. This proposal is focussed on the identification of dynamic brake squeal noise models from experimental data and brake system design apriori knowledge and their fusion through adaptive neurofuzzy construction algorithms developed at Southampton Uni. The research will consider the acquisition of relevant dynamically rich data via adaptive / learning that maximises the inforamtion / modelling whilst minimising the data set, generation of operating point dependent break squeal models for which the operating points include environmental and design parameters / conditions, and in the eigenvalue analysis (together with adaptive residual reduction) of consequent disc brake models. Full validation and verification will be made on industrial experimental brake test facilities.
