Book Description
This handbook treats the braking of motor vehicles such as passenger cars, trucks, and trailers. No attempt has been made to address fully the braking of specialty vehicles. However, the engineering relationships presented can be applied to the analysis of any automotive braking system, including those of tanks and special carriers. The text is structured so that it can be used by junior engineers with a minimum of supervision provided by a senior engineer. Chapters 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 present the analysis of brake system components and should provide sufficient detail for the computations required for the analysis of entire brake systems. Chapter 7 and those that follow address the analysis and design of the brake system of motor vehicles including the computation of partial braking performance with the brake system in a failed condition. The examples in Chapter 14 are presented in considerable detail to provide the engineer with insight into the methodology used in solving brake problems. A brief description of brake system hardware is provided in Chapter 15 for the engineer not fully familiar with the functioning of various brake system components.

Book Description
In Hitting the Brakes, Ann Johnson illuminates the complex social, historical, and cultural dynamics of engineering design, in which knowledge communities come together to produce new products and knowledge. Using the development of antilock braking systems for passenger cars as a case study, Johnson shows that the path to invention is neither linear nor top-down, but highly complicated and unpredictable. Individuals, corporations, university research centers, and government organizations informally coalesce around a design problem that is continually refined and redefined as paths of development are proposed and discarded, participants come and go, and information circulates within the knowledge community. Detours, dead ends, and failures feed back into the developmental process, so that the end design represents the convergence of multiple, diverse streams of knowledge. The development of antilock braking systems (ABS) provides an ideal case study for examining the process of engineering design because it presented an array of common difficulties faced by engineers in research and development. ABS did not develop predictably. Research and development took place in both the public and private sectors and involved individuals working in different disciplines, languages, institutions, and corporations. Johnson traces ABS development from its first patents in the 1930s to the successful 1978 market introduction of integrated ABS by Daimler and Bosch. She examines how a knowledge community first formed around understanding the phenomenon of skidding, before it turned its attention to building instruments to measure, model, and prevent cars’ wheels from locking up. While corporations’ accounts of ABS development often present a simple linear story, Hitting the Brakes describes the full social and cognitive complexity and context of engineering design.
