Yo folks!
I wonder in real life, how quickly the force at which the calipers clench the brake disk, varies when the driver changes load on the pedal. Why?
Well now that one can use a 'load cell' to get a true force sensitive brake pedal I wonder if in real life, slight brake pedal force variations, when blipping with your braking foot for instance, have an immediate influence on the actual braking done.
If there would be an ever so slight brake caliper displacement when braking harder and harder, that would mean things like the viscousity of the fluid, the tube diameter, return spring strength, tube expansion etc ALL have some damping effect. Even when the pads don't move, even the brake fluid 'tubes' will expand a VERY VERY tiny bit, which will act as a 'spring' ever so slightly disconnecting the pedal pressure from the caliper pressure..
Could it be however, when I'm braking, heel & toe-ing and have quick, slight, fluctuations of pedal pressure, that the actual braking would react slightly damped and thus show less fluctuation?
