Overview

Brake Pads: Materials, Manufacturing Processes, and Testing offers a comprehensive resource on this vital component of the braking system of a variety of vehicles (passenger cars, light commercial vehicles, buses, trucks, and airplanes). This specialized volume aims to bridge the theory and practice of designing and producing well-performing, greener, and cost-effective brake pads. It encompasses, in Part I, an overview of friction materials already available on the market and other more recently developed formulations and, in Part II, step-by-step examinations of a range of manufacturing parameters with related effects on the specific properties of the selected compounds as well as testing techniques. Discussions on regulatory standards, literature reviews, case studies, application scenarios, and analytical modeling make for a unique contribution that is not only timely but also shows the field’s potential for ever-growing transformation.
