Driver-vehicle interaction in braking
While antilock brake systems (ABS) have become more and more popular with the public, statistics reports imply that ABS-equipped cars have no advantage over non-ABS-equipped cars in reducing fatal accidents. While the brake pedal needs to be pushed down (full-brake) to activate the ABS, many …

Experimental investigations and finite element analyses of interface heat partition in a friction brake system. New modelling paradigm for describing friction brake systems to support studies of interface temperature, contact pressure, heat flux distribution and heat partition ratio by experiment and FE simulation
… considerations for developing effective disc brake system performance. Very high braking temperatures can introduce effects detrimental to performance such as brake fade, premature wear, brake fluid vaporization, bearing failure, thermal cracks, and thermally-excited vibration [2]. This …

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 …
