Bumpless transfer: It is a system in control systems where the transition from automotic control to manual control take place without any disruption of the general system.
Buna-N Seal: It is a very elastic and industrial use seal. Their use are very common in hydraulic applications.
Bursting pressure: In a tubing or cylinderical containers, it represensts the maximum pressure where the burst will take place. It has vaey close relation with the hoop stress.

Backbone chassis: They are the types of chassis structures strongly connects the rear and front axles with the tubular systems.
Basic oxygen steelmaking: In blast furnaces, steel is produced with the blasst of oxygen to the iron ores.
Battery car conversion technology: They are the yechnologies to convert the AC powr supply to DC.
Beam: Straight structural elements in mechanical and structural applications.
Bedford vehicles: An heavy old truck business that produce by General Motors. It stopped their actions in 1991.
Bending stiffness: Bending stiffness is the resistance of a structure to bending moments and bending deformation.
Birdcage frame: Types of strong automotive frames which are very strong. They use them in the offroad applications.
BIW (body-in-white) structure: This is the total frame and chassis of the car that separate parts are welded together.
Black smoke: Carbon based smokes that take place becuase of the combustion of fuels.
BMW: Bayerische Motoren Werke or Bavaria Motor Workshops which is a luxury german car brand.
Body slip angle control: The difference between the direction a vehicle is travelling (known as heading or course over ground) and the direction that the body of the vehicle is pointing (true heading).
Braking time: Total time that passed to completely stop the vehicles from specific speed.
Breather systems: They are the systems to provide extra air to the air tanks in pneumatic systems.
Broadband white noise: They are the types of noises that distributed over the audible range.
Bucket-and-hole analogy: There are several things in life we cannot hold on to. We cannot hold on to time, we cannot make good experiences last, we cannot make another hold on to us.
Bottom dead centre: In internal combustion engines, this is the place of the piston where they take the lowest poıint in the cylinder.
Break-by-wire: It is a braking technology for the vehicle systems where the braking take placve with electrical signals instead of direct hydraulic control.
Brake booster: They are the mechanical and electromechanical systems to increase the effect of the brake pedal in braking systems of automobiles. It enhances the force that is exerted by the foot of the driver to the brake pedal.
Brake creep-groan: This is the sound comes from the brake systems in lower speed when the driver pushes the brake pedal. By changing the discs you can solve this noise. But in general, it is considered as normal.
Brake judder: This is the vibrational effect from the braking systems that drivel feel thourgh the steering wheel and the suspension system.
Brake mean effective pressure: This is the total brake pressure where they calculate the pressure inside the engine cylinders and pistons. The acronym is BMEP.
Brake moan: This is the noise that comes from the braking system that occur in low pressure applkication in low speeds.
Brake noise: The noise that comes from the brake discs and pads when the driver hits the brake pedal. It can be a big sign of brake problems of your car.
Brake pressure modulating mechanism: This is a electromechanic system that modulates the total pressure on the discs in the ABS systems.
Brake-specific fuel consumption: The total efficiency of a internal combustion engine or electrical engine that gives the total powe rto the shaft uotput. The acronym is BSFC. They calcylate it by multiplying the fuel comsumtion, brake power and fuel consumprion rate.
Brake squeal: Noise and vibration that caused by a misalinged brake pads and brake dics.
Brake system layout: Schematical layout of a brake system of the automotive systems.
Brake: System that stops or decrease the velocity of a vehicle. There is a pedal that driver pushes to stop teh vechile.
