Supplemental damping can be used as a cost-effective method to reduce structural
vibrations. In particular, passive systems are now widely accepted and have numerous …

This paper investigates the performance of a novel semiactive damping device at mitigating
nonsimultaneous multihazard loads. The device, termed modified friction device (MFD), has …

Semi‐active control of civil structures has shown to be promising at mitigating vibrations.
Those systems typically perform significantly better than passive systems, and only …

Mathematical models to study the dynamic behavior of a wedge disc brake are presented in
this article. The friction coefficient has a significant role in the brake system dynamics …

Energy efficiency is crucial for electric vehicles (EVs). One way to conserve energy in EVs is
by using an efficient brake system. This paper proposes modeling of a hydraulic drum brake …

Brake performance remains a topic of ongoing research despite much progress being made
especially in the last decade. Many of the feasible mechanisms are far from being fully …

In this work, laboratory tests have been carried out to investigate the influence of the
presence of water and oil film, as well as the existence of wet dust between the disc and …

The automotive industry is one of the leading sectors with a wider market share than any
other sector which can quickly adapt to the increasingly competitive environment. However …

The concept of an electromechanical drum brake shows with its properties high potential for
providing a suitable solution for the new requirements arising of automated driving and …

In this paper, the experimental work was carried out to investigate the effect of changing the
lining form of the drum brake on the brake performance at different operating parameters …
