For the serious and uneven wear of the brake pad in the high-power disc brake during braking, the dynamic variation of the brake disc and the brake pad interface variable is considered, the wear calculation model is established based on the friction and wear mechanism, and the wear depth and volume of the brake pad can be calculated by equations. A finite element model of the brake disc and the brake pad is established by DEFORM software which can analyze wear of the brake pad directly. The variation trend of wear during braking is studied, and influences of braking load and initial braking speed on the wear are analyzed. The results show that the amount of the wear increases rapidly in the early wear stage of braking, and it becomes slow in the later stage; the wear of the brake pad is serious at the friction inlet and outlet, and the middle area of the brake pad is lightly worn; heavy braking load and high initial braking speed can exacerbate the wear of the brake pad.

The simulation calculation on the temperature field of the disc brake system on high-speed trains under the working condition of constant speed at 50Km/h is made. A steady-state calculation model is established according to the actual geometric size of a brake disc and a brake pad, and the analog calculation and simulation on the temperature field of the brake disc and the brake pad by using the large-scale nonlinear finite element software ABAQUS are carried out. The distribution rules of the temperature field of the brake disc and the brake pad under the working condition of constant speed are made known. The surface temperature of the brake disc at friction radius is the highest, with a band distribution for temperature. There exists a temperature flex point in the direction of thickness, of which the thickness occupies 15% of that of the brake disc; due to the small volume of the brake pad, the temperature gradient of the whole brake pad is not sharp, and larger temperature gradient occurs only on the contact surface.

For the sake of driving safety, the right choice of the brake pad friction material and its manufacturing processes to obtain the appropriate tribological properties is a matter of priority for brake pad manufacturers. Determination of the tribological properties is best done in component tests, i.e. in the setup: brake pads – brake disc. At the request of one of the domestic brake pad manufacturers, as part of the POIR project, an inertia dynamometer for testing friction and wear of brake pads and brake discs was developed and manufactured, which was given the symbol T-33. A test methodology was developed based on the “Cold application section” procedure described in SAE J2522:2003. The T-33 inertia dynamometer is designed for testing brake pads and brake discs intended for five vehicles representing the passenger vehicle class and vans. The paper presents the new test stand, test methodology, and results of verification tests of the T-33 dynamometer (interlaboratory comparison tests) performed on the Cinquecento vehicle brake setup.

Abstract The dynamics of a nonlinear car disc brake model is investigated and compared with a simplified linear model. The rotating brake disc is approximated by a rotating ring. The brake pad is modeled as a point mass which is in contact with the rotating ring and visco-elastically suspended in axial and circumferential direction. The stability analysis for the nonlinear model is performed by a numerical evaluation of the top Lyapunov-exponent. Several parameter studies for the nonlinear model are discussed. It is shown that dynamic instabilities of the nonlinear model are estimated at subcritical rotating speeds lower than 10% of the critical speed. Further, the sensitivity of the nonlinear model to the initial conditions and the stiffness ratios is demonstrated.

A computational finite element model of a brake disc for determining transient axisymmetric (two-dimensional) temperature field during repeated brake application has been proposed. The presented research is a subsequent stage of a previous study on the coupling of velocity and maximum temperature for a single braking in accordance with the system of equations of heat dynamics of friction and wear. In the analysed case, changes in the mean, flash, maximum and bulk temperature of the disc were determined and discussed. The calculations were carried out at the temperature-dependent coefficient of friction, the thermophysical properties of cast-iron disc combined with cermet brake pads and the time-varying contact pressure. The obtained results were compared with the reference values from the braking simulation at constant operating parameters and independent of temperature properties of materials. It was shown that the maximum values of the mean temperature for both cases differed slightly during the entire process. The flash temperature determined from the heat dynamics of friction and wear system of equations was the highest at the beginning and gradually decreased with the number of brake applications.

A new elastic disc brake pad device is designed. A mathematical model on railway vehicle elastic disc brake is established compared with the non-elastic brake pad by uni-wheel set braking simulation. The simulation results show that the elastic brake pad could guarantee the vehicle braking performance as same as the non-elastic brake pad. When the friction surface of the brake disc or pad has defects, the elastic brake pad can effectively reduce the vibration of the friction force between the brake pad and the brake disc. It has been proved that the correctness and rationality of the design. A new idea for the design and analysis of the disc brake system is provides.

In recent experimental work it has been observed that the position of the centre of pressure (CoP) at the brake pad/disc interface has an influence on the onset of brake squeal. To determine the CoP during a braking event, a simple two-dimensional analytical model of the brake pad or more complex numerical finite element model of a disc brake are commonly used. This paper presents a new three-dimensional analytical model of a brake pad that determines the CoP position in both circumferential and radial directions. Due to higher complexity, this model provides more realistic clamp and friction force values, which can be used together with the more accurate radial position of the CoP for evaluation of the brake torque. The CoP position calculated using the new model was compared with the CoP evaluated by a finite-element model of an equivalent 8-piston opposed disc brake. The CoP results across the whole pad/disc interface showed a close correlation between these two approaches, giving the new analytical model a potential use in applications where an instantaneous value of the CoP with good accuracy is required. Finally, the new model was used to demonstrate possible improvement of the traditional method of the friction coefficient calculation. Due to greater accuracy the new model gives an approximately 8% larger value of the friction coefficient than the traditional approach. 


This paper aims to present comparative study of friction and wear characteristics of non-asbestos rubber resin bonded metallic based brake pad material. Friction material was compression moulded and machined to a sample size. Their physical and mechanical properties were studied. Experiments were conducted using Pin-on-disc test set-up against EN31 disc. Coefficient of friction and wear was measured for metallic based brake materials at varying conditions of temperature, sliding velocity, pressure and sliding distance. When brake pads are in contact with brake disc, heat is generated hence thermal behaviour of metallic based brake material and its impact on friction and wear were studied. Experiments, based on Taguchi’s analysis technique, using L9 orthogonal array were performed. On the basis of experimental results and S/N ratio analyses, ranking of the parameters have been done. It was found that temperature (95.37 %) and sliding velocity (2.99 %) are most affecting parameters in friction, However temperature (82.96 %) and pressure (6.80) in wear. The elemental composition of metallic based brake material was measured by EDS technique. SEM micrographs of brake pad samples were tested at different magnifications. Further detailed studies are suggested to evaluate wear rate, stopping distance under simulative test conditions alternate to asbestos based brake pad material.

High-power bicycle disc braking can create excessive temperatures and boiling brake fluid, resulting in performance degradation and damage. The goal of this work is to understand brake friction performance and thermal behavior for bicycle disc brakes. A previously described disc braking dynamometer is used to assess brake pad performance of sintered metallic brake pads, organic brake pads, and ‘power’ organic pads in up to 400 W of braking power. The friction coefficient is found to be dependent on both temperature and normal force. Friction curve fits are provided for temperatures between 300 K and 550 K. Organic and ‘power’ organic pads are found to have similar behavior, and have higher friction coefficients compared to metallic pads. Further, brakes on an instrumented bicycle are tested in outdoor field trials during downhill descent. A MATLAB thermal model successfully predicts the downhill field brake disc temperatures when using the friction data curve fits.
