- W832863145 abstract "The chosen thesis topic concerns itself with the improvement and optimisation of the braking system for a 1965 Plymouth Fury. With the current braking system the vehicle does not perform to a satisfactory standard for current driving conditions and though the vehicle can legally be driven on road, the performance is lacking considerably and any improvement will increase the road safety of the vehicle.The improvement of the system involved the adaptation of modern brake components to the vehicle’s original equipment. This involved determining the location of the components with restrictions such as the size of the wheel used and the orientation of the callipers. After the bracket was drawn a trial bracket was manufactured and final modifications made. The final brackets fit exceptionally well and were then analysed using finite element modelling with great success. The results of this were acceptable and the final fit of the new callipers was concluded.The testing of the modified system has shown that the system operates effectively with a reduction in the stopping distance and a doubling of the number of stops before the onset of brake fade. The only adverse effect of the entire system is a reduction of pedal feel due to the increase in piston area of the callipers used, but this has been considered as acceptable and the system can be modified, as mentioned in this report, to alleviate this problem.The project did not go to completion, however, due to the revision of the calliper selection as required by the approving engineer. The concern was the method of bracket manufacture required. The economics of the project have been discussed and it is concluded that if the project went to completion the system would cost under $1000.00. Overall, the results of the project were successful." @default.
