Low-impact friction materials for brake pads
… friction materials for applications in disc brake systems are constituted by composite materials, specifically formulated to ensure proper friction and wear performances, under the sliding contact conditions of braking events. The bases of typical friction compound formulations usually …

Recycling of worn-out vehicular brake pads and discs
Disc brake systems are extensively used in almost all vehicles for braking. The brake pads and discs are usually replaced with new ones before being entirely worn out to maintain their tribological performance. This work highlights the significance of sustainable and environmentally friendly …

Design of a FSAE braking system
… such as the coefficient of friction of the brake pads, motivated the development of a custom brake dynamometer to empirically test for the required data. The brake dynamometer became a very valuable tool eventually being used to select an appropriate brake rotor material and the most …

Coupling Numerical Analysis of Vibration and Thermal Buckling of an Automotive Brake Disc
<p>An engaged brake system generates high temperature gradients in the brake rotor and brake pads. This high temperature gradient in turn induces thermal buckling. During high speed rotation, vibration is likely to occur in the system. In terms of a brake disc vibration will occur when there is a …

Wear of aluminium MMCs against automobile friction materials
… three different automobile friction linings (brake pads). Two of the friction linings are commonly used against cast iron brake rotors while the third has been formulated for use against aluminium MMC brake rotors. Wear processes at the interfaces of the specific rotor - pad combinations have …

Study of Wear Mechanisms in Braking Systems with HVOF-Coated Discs
… major sources of these emissions is the wear of brake pads and discs. The experimental work presented in this thesis has been performed within the European project called LOWBRASYS that aims at reducing the particulate matter emissions due to the wear of the components of braking systems. …
