Since the driver obtains an important feedback of vehicle dynamics and its braking capabilities depending on a brake performance change, it represents an important aspect of vehicle performance and it....
Brake pad material formulation and disc microstructure/composition plays a mutual role during wear test due to the third body layer (TBL) formation and its relative evolution due to temperature change....
Limiting residual drag torque and fluid displacement is a major requirement of a caliper brake as they are related to the fuel efficiency and the safety of a vehicle. However, it is difficult to simul....
Recently, in view of environment, safety, comfort and convenience for cars, the demand of low fuel consumption is increasing more than before, and weight saving of the automotive parts is pursued. In ....
Previous research has highlighted that the formation of a sustained friction film, desired for stable and predictable friction performance, is highly dependent upon the region of the substrate (CMC) b....
It is always a challenging task for the braking industry to maintain consistent friction material behavior during brake system development. Lack of consistency in friction behavior causes significant ....
Cast-iron is a well suited material for manufacturing automotive brake components due to excellent mechanical and thermic properties. The application of a well chosen cathodically protecting coating a....
Disc brakes operate with very close proximity of the brake pads and the brake rotor, with as little as a tenth of a millimeter of movement of the pads required to bring them into full contact with the....
This work introduces a new mathematical model that can be utilized for designing control systems for improving vehicle stability during cornering maneuvers. The mathematical analysis aims at deriving ....
