| ABSTRACT |
|
As the technology for high-performance automobiles is developing rapidly together with the significant
growth of the automobile industry in modern society, customer demand for automobile safety is increasing accordingly, and
thus the development of safety products is gaining momentum. The brake system is indispensable for safe driving of the
automobile, and malfunction or disorder of the brake system can lead to serious accident, resulting in injury or death.
Meanwhile, if the brake system can be monitored on a real-time basis, such monitoring system can notify drivers of
dangerous circumstance, like excessive wear of brake pad, or overheating of brake disc. However, in the case of
high-performance/oversize automobiles, frequent or sudden braking during summer causes disc temperature to rise above
600 °C, which affects the useful life of the sensor. In contrast, there has not yet been a breakthrough for the sensor that can be
used in a condition that exceeds 600 °C. Based on the heat transfer theory, we have developed the sensor in this study that
normally works under the temperature exceeding 600 °C and verified that the sensor works normally under the temperature of
≥ 825 °C. |
