Can I have a detailed explanation for this block of code? I have a few guesses on what they are.
Code:
BrakeDiscRange=(0.0254, 0.000, 1) // disc thickness
BrakeDiscSetting=0
BrakePadRange=(0, 1, 5) // pad type (not implemented)
BrakePadSetting=2
BrakeDiscInertia=0.715 // inertia per meter of thickness
BrakeOptimumTemp=250.0 // optimum brake temperature in Celsius (peak brake grip)
BrakeFadeRange=650.0 // temperature outside of optimum that brake grip drops to half (too hot or too cold)
BrakeWearRate=1.207e-011 // meters of wear per second at optimum temperature
BrakeFailure=(1.33e-002,7.21e-004) // average and variation in disc thickness at failure
BrakeTorque=3000.0 // maximum brake torque at zero wear and optimum temp
BrakeHeating=0.00060 // heat added linearly with brake torque times wheel speed (at max disc thickness)
BrakeCooling=(3.660e-002,4.630e-004) // minimum brake cooling rate (base and per unit velocity) (at max disc thickness)
BrakeDuctCooling=1.180e-004 // brake cooling rate per brake duct setting (at max disc thickness)
I know what this is.
Code:
BrakeDiscRange=(0.0254, 0.000, 1) // disc thickness
BrakeDiscSetting=0
I don't think I need this.
Code:
BrakePadRange=(0, 1, 5) // pad type (not implemented)
BrakePadSetting=2
If I increase this, it takes longer to stop, right?
Code:
BrakeDiscInertia=0.715 // inertia per meter of thickness
This must be some sort of exponential slope. Are any real brakes that resilient to this sort of abuse?
Code:
BrakeOptimumTemp=250.0 // optimum brake temperature in Celsius (peak brake grip)
BrakeFadeRange=650.0 // temperature outside of optimum that brake grip drops to half (too hot or too cold)
I take it that this value increases exponentially based on the previous two values?
Code:
BrakeWearRate=1.207e-011 // meters of wear per second at optimum temperature
These values are in meters right? Seems to be about half of the initial brake disk size.
Code:
BrakeFailure=(1.33e-002,7.21e-004) // average and variation in disc thickness at failure
Does this value change exponentially with temperature? Does it change linearly with wear?
Code:
BrakeTorque=3000.0 // maximum brake torque at zero wear and optimum temp
This seems self-explanatory, but does it increase with brake wear? If so, what's the formula?
Code:
BrakeHeating=0.00060 // heat added linearly with brake torque times wheel speed (at max disc thickness)
This seems self-explanatory, but is it increased linearly or exponentially?
Code:
BrakeCooling=(3.660e-002,4.630e-004) // minimum brake cooling rate (base and per unit velocity) (at max disc thickness)
This appears to be some sort of modifier.
Code:
BrakeDuctCooling=1.180e-004 // brake cooling rate per brake duct setting (at max disc thickness)
