Abstract

This abstract presents the experimental analysis of a disc brake system using a dedicated test rig to assess its performance characteristics under different operating conditions. The study focuses on evaluating the braking efficiency, thermal behavior, and wear patterns of the disc brake through comprehensive experimental tests. The experimental setup involves a specially designed test rig capable of simulating realistic braking conditions. The test rig allows for controlled application of braking forces and monitoring of critical parameters such as brake temperature, braking torque, and wear debris generation. Various test scenarios are conducted to investigate the influence of factors like braking pressure, speed, and material composition on the brake's performance.Key experimental measurements include temperature distribution across the disc surface using thermocouples, torque measurements using strain gauges, and wear analysis through visual inspections and post-test measurements. Data acquisition and analysis techniques are employed to interpret experimental results and draw meaningful conclusions. The outcomes of this experimental analysis provide valuable insights into the dynamic behavior and performance limitations of the disc brake system, offering practical implications for optimizing brake design and operational parameters. This abstract outlines the methodology and objectives of the experimental study, emphasizing its significance in advancing the understanding of disc brake performance through empirical investigations.
