This paper deals with the development and validation of an analytical dynamic model of an air-over-hydraulic (AOH) brake system that is widely used on loaders. The AOH system is broken into five simple and cascaded subsystems, pneumatic circuit, air-hydraulic actuator, brake line, wheel cylinder, and disk brake. Pneumatic, hydraulic, and mechanical dynamics are taken care of in each subsystem. The determination of model coefficients is introduced in detail. Many experiments are performed on an experimental setup of the real AOH system on a loader and the experimental data are compared with the simulation results. Preliminary analysis shows that the simulation results are in good agreement with the experimental data. Other researchers in the areas of brake systems in construction machinery would find the model useful for similar system modeling and analysis
