The Beck 550 Spyder described below has manual hydraulic brakes with a single
master cylinder. The car is traveling on level ground at sea-level where g = 9.81 m/s².
Find the values for the front and rear brake gains that will make this car decelerate at
8.829 m/s², or 0.90g, on a road surface where the peak coefficient of friction is 0.90
when the pedal force is F₂ = 250 N. Neglect the aerodynamic drag and the rolling
resistance, but this time include the rotational inertia of the tires and wheels.
Answer: G₁ =166.1 N-m/MPa for each front wheel and G, = 114.5 N-m/MPa for each
rear wheel.
Pedal Assembly
The diameter of the master cylinder is DMC = 19.05 mm.
The pedal length is Lp = 225 mm.
The pushrod for the master cylinder is located at LR = 50 mm.

Expert Solution
Step 1

The front and rear brake gains can be calculated using the following formulas:

Gf = (2×μf×(b / L)×m×g)/(Dm×Af)
Gr = (2×μr×((L - b)/L)×m ×g)/(Dm×Ar)

where:

μf and μr are the peak coefficients of friction for the front and rear wheels, respectively
b is the distance from the center of gravity to the front axle
L is the wheelbase
m is the mass of the car
g is the acceleration due to gravity
Dm is the diameter of the master cylinder
Af and Ar are the effective piston areas for the front and rear brakes, respectively
