Question

What are the thermal considerations in brake design?

Answer 1

frictional heat generation and its consideration related to thermal need to take care....

Answer 2

       Below are the things taken into consideration regarding thermal energy in break design.  

• When we press the break, frictional force is created and kinetic energy of the car will transform it into thermal energy.  
• The heat generated from break can affect the performance of breaks and other car components.
• If the rotor and the pad temperature of the break goes over 400 degree C, brakes fade sets in.
• This reduces the break torque and considered as the material to absorb large heat.
