Suboptimal Analysis of the Differential System of the Conceptual Trailer Air Brake Valve
Source abstract
Abstract
Motivation: To increase the efficiency of the brake valve by adding a corrective member. Background: The speed of response and smooth transition between modes of operation in the braking system are the primary research questions. Objective and research question: Will the optimal selection of the input parameters of the differentiating part of a conceptual brake valve ensure the speed of operation and enable a smooth transition from the accelerating mode to the tracking mode? Methods: The mathematical model of the differentiating part of the brake valve uses the lumped method, and the solution was obtained by numerical means. Results: Within the assumed range of variation of spring stiffness and control piston bore throughput, the distribution maps of action times and piston lift were determined, and the optimal configuration of the analyzed input parameters was obtained by a genetic algorithm. Future research: future activities will focus on the development of a system of smooth variation of the throughput of the connecting chamber of the differential part of the valve. Conclusions: The determined maps of functional parameter distributions are the basis for the selection of components of the braking system; optimization indicates the directions of modification of the valve in order to obtain an acceptable performance system.
