Braking testbed flywheel effect simulation method - uses electrical machine with braking torque measurement and integration stage

摘要

A method of simulating the flywheel effect on vehicle brake test beds enables continuous adjustment of the simulated vehicle mass using an electrical machine. The braking energy for the brakes is derived directly from an electrical machine with regulated revolution rate. The braking torque is measured and integrated. Torque measurement is achieved using a press. cell and a measurement lever attached to the brake caliper or a torque measurement shaft associated with the axle.
