Systems and methods for dynamically stable braking
Systems and methods for dynamically stable braking are disclosed. A first electromechanical brake actuator controller may be placed in communication with a second electromechanical brake actuator controller, wherein each of the first electromechanical brake actuator controller and second electromechanical brake actuator controller are in communication with electromechanical brake actuators that are associated with the same wheel. The first electromechanical brake actuator controller and second electromechanical brake actuator controllers may then communicate electromechanical brake actuator status information and take corrective measures in accordance with the status information.
1. A system comprising:
a first electromechanical brake actuator controller and a second electromechanical brake actuator controller;
a first communication channel in communication with the first electromechanical brake actuator controller and the second electromechanical brake actuator controller;
a first electromechanical brake actuator in electrical communication with the first electromechanical brake actuator controller;
a second electromechanical brake actuator in electrical communication with the second electromechanical brake actuator controller;
wherein the first electromechanical brake actuator controller transmits a failure notification pertaining to the first electromechanical brake actuator to the second electromechanical brake actuator controller via the first communication channel;
wherein the second electromechanical brake actuator controller receives a desired deceleration command; and
wherein the second electromechanical brake actuator controller commands the second electromechanical brake actuator responsive to the failure notification so that the second electromechanical brake actuator applies a force sufficient to achieve the desired deceleration of the desired deceleration command.
2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the failure notification indicates complete failure.
3. The system of claim 1 , further comprising a first brake system controller in electrical communication with the first electromechanical brake actuator controller.
4. The system of claim 3 , wherein the first brake system controller communicates aircraft deceleration information to the first electromechanical brake actuator controller.
5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the first electromechanical brake actuator controller communicates aircraft deceleration information to the second electromechanical brake actuator controller.
