2. Brake pad - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brake_pad

   The brake pad and disc (now both having the friction material), then "stick" to each other, providing the friction that stops the vehicle. In disc brakes, there are usually two brake pads per disc rotor, they both function together. These are held in place and actuated by a caliper affixed to the wheel hub or suspension upright. Racing calipers ...

4. Disc brake - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disc_brake

   A disc brake is a type of brake that uses the calipers to squeeze pairs of pads against a disc (sometimes called a [brake] rotor) [1] to create friction. [2] There are two basic types of brake pad friction mechanisms: abrasive friction and adherent [ further explanation needed ] friction. [ 3 ]

5. Axle load - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axle_load

   The axle load of a wheeled vehicle is the total weight bearing on the roadway for all wheels connected to a given axle.Axle load is an important design consideration in the engineering of roadways and railways, as both are designed to tolerate a maximum weight-per-axle (axle load); exceeding the maximum rated axle load will cause damage to the roadway or railway tracks.

6. Regenerative braking - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regenerative_braking

   Mechanism for regenerative brake on the roof of a Škoda Astra tram The S7/8 Stock on the London Underground can return around 20% of its energy usage to the power supply. [ 1 ] Regenerative braking is an energy recovery mechanism that slows down a moving vehicle or object by converting its kinetic energy or potential energy into a form that ...

7. Subaru Impreza WRX STI - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subaru_Impreza_WRX_STI

   The RA gets a roof vent instead of map lights, and wind up windows, although electrics are an option from factory. Also available was a WRX Type R V-limited, in version III. It has a WRX motor with no forged internals like the STI, and it misses out on the 4 pot front brakes as they are to be installed by rally teams.

8. Crack growth equation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crack_growth_equation

   A crack growth equation is used for calculating the size of a fatigue crack growing from cyclic loads. The growth of a fatigue crack can result in catastrophic failure, particularly in the case of aircraft. When many growing fatigue cracks interact with one another it is known as widespread fatigue damage. A crack growth equation can be used to ...

9. Torque vectoring - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torque_vectoring

   In electric vehicles all-wheel drive is typically implemented with two independent electric motors, one for each axle. In this case the torque vectoring between the front and rear axles is just a matter of electronically controlling the power distribution between the two motors, which can be done on a millisecond scale.
