“The Brakes of the Car Burst.” Why Is His Statement Actually Wrong?

What we mean is that brake bursting is actually a wrong usage. Because your brakes are like rubber It is not possible to explode.

So what happens to these brakes all of a sudden? it doesn’t work And accidents happen to us?

How does the brake system work? Let’s look at that first.

If we look at the general concept of the brake system and how it works, we will be able to explain our main topic better. Brakes, one of the lines of defense in cars against accidents, are used to stop the vehicle in case of any malfunction. backup system It works with .

After the brake regulations came into force in the 1970s, vehicles two-circuit main braking system and a parking brake started to be found. In the event of a fault in the hydraulic or air brake systems, a brake system may fail.

In this case, on the vehicle dashboard (!) lamp burns. If the driver presses the brake pedal strongly after detecting this warning, the other brake is activated and the vehicle stops. If both fail, this time the parking brake is activated.

What happens that both the handbrake and the dual-circuit main braking system do not work and the “brake bursts”?

It would be more accurate to consider this through two systems. Firstly hydraulic brakes Let’s see why it doesn’t work.

Why don’t hydraulic brakes work?

For braking the vehicle from hydraulic oil pressure is used. With the force applied to the pedal, the piston of the central cylinder creates pressure. The pressure goes to the wheel cylinder through pipes and braking is done by opening the cylinder pistons.

The most important reason why the hydraulic brakes in new generation vehicles do not work is the decrease in hydraulics. Tear or tear in the pressure transmitting pipes having a crack, loosening of connection points, cylinder wear and wear of the hydraulic tank will cause the brake system to malfunction.

What causes malfunction in the drum brake system?

Between brake calipers in drum brake systems bell There is a part. After the movement of the drum towards the brake calipers brake pads contact with the vehicle tire is ensured. In this way, braking is done. It is possible to see the drum brake system in old model vehicles or motorcycles.

Between drum and pad friction coefficient, decreases with temperature. When this temperature, also called “fading”, increases from 100°C to 400°C in the pads of commercial vehicles, the decrease in brake force is around 60%. This temperature is the reason why the brake pedal does not hold when pressed.

Other things that can cause brakes to fail or overheat:

Using the brakes to slow down downhill may cause the brake system to overheat depending on the weight of the vehicle. That’s why passenger cars use foot brakes instead. downshiftin large vehicles deceleration system should be used.

One of the things to do to prevent fading is speed control. It is possible for the driver to be aware of the speed he is going with driver training. Of course speed limiter Among other methods that can be used are:

As for hydraulic brakes, in addition to the situations mentioned above, it is necessary to be careful, especially in hot weather. When the temperature is high, hydraulic oil may boil and this renders the braking system ineffective.

Any vehicle that is not taken precautions and maintained is likely to cause problems. That’s why braking systems are needed to avoid a disaster. regular check should be done.

How is the situation in Germany, one of the world’s largest automotive manufacturers?

Germany conducts a research between 1984 and 1991 and finds that in 20% of commercial vehicles involved in accidents, the cause of the accident was “braking”. This research shows that 57% of technical problems are caused by Lack of vehicle maintenance and incorrect service It also shows that it is.

Germany, which has made a name for itself with both its highways and the technologies in its vehicles, is also meticulous in driving license training. For driver candidates special training on brakes Germany, which provides service, also inspects vehicles by stopping them on the road for brake maintenance. So it’s not where it is!

Even though it is sad, let’s look at the news using the definition of “brake explosion” and come to the end of our content.

After examining the technical details, we saw that the phrase “brake burst” was actually wrong. Instead of “brake burst” “failure to brake” It’s actually best to say. Because there is no explosion in either the hydraulics or the drum brake system.
