Beskrivning

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.

Covers different materials that can be used for brake pads
Features real-life case studies, facilitating understanding of current challenges
Includes sustainability considerations which have acquired importance for academic researchers and manufacturing specialists alike

Mer om författaren

Reza Taherian, Associate Professor and Head of the Polymer Research Laboratory, Faculty of Chemical and Materials Engineering, Shahrood University of Technology, Iran. He received his PhD in Materials Engineering from Shiraz University in 2011. His research interests and related publication works center on carbon-polymer composites, with investigations of their porosity, conductivity, and mechanical and thermal properties. For Elsevier, he has previously authored Electrical Conductivity in Polymer-Based Composites (2018). He has commercialized products through his company in the field of electrically and thermally conductive adhesives, and is actively involved in manufacturing and consulting with various companies on the production of composites reinforced with carbon and glass fibers for applications such as PEM fuel cells, aircraft bodies, and similar technologies.
