- Abstract
Brake is one of the most important control components of the vehicles. Brake is used in all automotives, locomotives aircraft, and some stationary machines. Different types of brakes like band brakes, drum brakes, electromagnetic brakes are most commonly used. Good and reliable design of brakes has assumed utmost importance in the context of modern world, where the increase in the number of vehicles and improvement in their speed is an everyday phenomenon. Therefore, a brake should be capable of stopping a vehicle within the shortest distance possible, under all conditions of motoring and the brake system should be completely reliable. The design methods used for brakes are based mainly on statistical considerations, and a number of simplifying assumptions. However, in reality, brakes are exposed to operate under extreme environmental conditions and it is the dynamic performance of the brake, which really matters. This paper discusses about the various factors affecting the performance of the Disc Brake system.
