Brake Design & Safety

The objectives of this third edition of an SAE classic title are to provide readers with the basic theoretical fundamentals and analytical tools necessary to design braking systems for passenger vehicles and trucks that comply with safety standards, minimize consumer complaints, and perform safely and efficiently before and while electronic brake controls become active.

This book, written for students, engineers, forensic experts, and brake technicians provides readers with theoretical knowledge of braking physics, and offers numerous illustrations and equations that make the information easy to understand and apply.
