Abstract
An antiskid control system is presented which includes variable gains to compensate for brakes which exhibit large changes in lining friction coefficient. Fundamentally, the invention includes a pressure transducer and associated amplifier which presents an output signal corresponding to brake pressure. An accelerometer is connected to a second amplifier which presents an output signal analogous to brake torque. These two signals are combined in a summing circuit and the function obtained therefrom is used to modify the control signal from the antiskid control circuit. Effectively, this function provides a modification of antiskid system gain.
