Overheated brakes may cause failure of the braking system and, as a result, lead\u0000to a car accident. Heat dissipation during operation helps to cool the braking system and prevent overheating.\u0000The article presents two patented brake pad structural solutions – anisotropic and ventilated brake pads –\u0000designed to boost the effectiveness of heat dissipation. The tests described in the article were performed\u0000using the T-33 inertia dynamometer developed at the Łukasiewicz – Institute for Sustainable Technologies in\u0000response to a demand presented by a Polish brake pad manufacturer. As part of the tests, various functional\u0000properties of the newly-designed and classic brake pads (i.e. the friction coefficient, the temperature of the\u0000brake pad, and the wear of the brake pad and brake disc) were compared.\u0000From the tests it follows that the new pads with the heat dissipation system have an advantage over classic\u0000pads, depending on the method of brake pad’s material and structural modification.\u0000\u0000","PeriodicalId":35004,"journal":{"name":"Tribologia: Finnish Journal of Tribology","volume":"6 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81925765","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
