Abstract

Brake pads are a component of disc brakes used in automotive and other applications. Brake pads are steel backing plates with friction material bound to the surface that faces the disk brake rotor. A brake pad is a grouping of certain materials on a metal backing that attaches to the calipers in a disk braking system. This pad can be made from several different types of material. It serves to absorb energy and heat during the braking process, facilitating the slowing of a vehicle. The brake pads do wear down with use, eventually needing replacement .In this present paper first of all find out the brake pads which is used in automobile industries and laboratory testing of the material is proceed and then thermo mechanical analysis is done for the finding out the stresses and maximum temperature. The analysis is done in ANSYS.
