Italian term

frenata

Italian to English Tech/Engineering Mechanics / Mech Engineering Brake test
Per questa prova il veicolo deve essere carico e tutte le frenate devono essere eseguite

Frenate as in the above.
It's obvious it means "braking" or application of the brakes, but is there a better way putting this in English?

braking Hello Cliff, I would simply go for "braking"..., English is an essential language...
Clifford Marcus (asker) Mar 25, 2010:
it don't think that quite fits thanks for that, but I think the meaning is more specific, we are talking about an application of the brake, the whole procedure can be called a brake test which may invovle several frenate....

brakes...

I'd say something like:
" and brakes should be tested in all conditions"
(high/medium/low speeds)

An English mothertongue will do better but I just wanted to give you my contribution!

braking operation

suggestion

A preselected cycle
combined with various brake-pressure and torque settings is
used for these tests. The programme includes the operation of a
complete braking system under various output temperatures
etc. up to the maximum operating temperature of a system,
and includes set cycle times between braking operations.

Under emergency braking operations, brake imbalances cause some brakes to fully lock while others do not. It is uncommon to find 18 skid marks from an 18-wheeled truck at a crash scene.

braking tests/events

This appears to be a controlled test environment, so in this narrow instance braking tests might work. Braking events might work as well, depending on the larger context.
