Background To The Analysis Of Test Data

​

The brake performance graphs are taken directly from the raw data as processed by the full-scale dyno.

​

The disc is run up to a road speed of 220 km/h, then a constant brake pressure is applied until a speed of 110 km/h is reached.

​

This test is repeated ten times each from starting rotor temperatures of 300℃, 420℃, 525℃ and 575℃.

 

The graphs show each of the tenth.

​

The coefficient of friction is derived from the measured braking torque, the clamping force applied to the brake pads, and the effective radius of the geometric center of the pads.
