Simulation Model and Testing of a Formula SAE Brake System

Design and Development of a Brake Test Bench for Formula SAE Race Cars

“…Formula SAE ® is a series of competitions in which different teams of university undergraduate and graduate students compete to design, construct, test, and promote a race car prototype that adheres to stringent regulations [1] and mimics real-world racing standards. The present work underscores the importance of the brake system in these high-performance vehicles [2][3][4][5], which are subject to intense engineering scrutiny and competitive performance. Traditional design and testing methods fall short, particularly since the brake system can typically only be evaluated after the entire vehicle is assembled, leading to potential issues being discovered too late in the development process [6].…”

“…However, it is limited to tests of the pedal assembly and the pipeline since it has a stationary brake disc. Other authors have developed dynamic systems dedicated to FSAE vehicles by adapting a commercial dynamometer [30] or creating a new dynamometer from scratch [3]. However, the proposed systems are limited to braking at constant speed and pressure or according to standard test protocols and regulations [3,30].…”
