Finite Element Analysis of Thermal Buckling in Automotive Clutch and Brake Discs
… buckling behavior of automotive clutch and brake discs is studied by making the use of finite element method. It is found that the temperature distribution along the radius and the thickness affects the critical buckling load considerably. The results indicate that a monotonic temperature …

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 …

Lightweight friction brakes for a road vehicle with regenerative braking. Design analysis and experimental investigation of the potential for mass reduction of friction brakes on a passenger car with regenerative braking.
… braking (RB) will minimize duty levels on the brakes, giving advantages including extended brake rotor and friction material life and, more significantly, reduced brake mass and minimised brake pad wear. In this thesis, a mathematical analysis (MATLAB) has been used to analyse the accessibility …

Deterministic and stochastic braking distance prediction of disc-braked rail vehicles
… works addresses the complexity of frictional brake forces and contributes to an improved brake performance prediction of disc-braked rail vehicles. By analyzing almost 2000 experimental brake applications conducted on a test rig, this work provides fundamental insights into the deterministic …

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. …
