摘要:Brake system is an important actuator of most active safety systems equipped on vehicles. It combines with the wheel to make vehicle decelerate and finally stop it. Moreover, brake system is an electronic, mechanical, and hydraulic hybrid system; it contains some highly nonlinear characters, which is a challenge to system control. In this article, an integrated model of brake system and single-wheel system using bond graph method is developed, in which the nonlinear characters of the volumetric compliance effect of brake fluid and the resistance effect of valves are taken into consideration. The accuracy and reliability of the brake system is verified by experiment. Nonlinear sliding-mode controller as well as sliding-mode observer is proposed. The controller is used to modulate inlet and outlet valves control signals according to the vehicle states, which will lead to cancel the usage of wheel cylinder pressure sensors. The controller is analyzed by different tire–road friction coefficient conditions. The results show that the proposed integrated bond graph model is accurate, and the nonlinear sliding-mode control is reliable on valves control signal regulation.
