Comparative Analysis of Disc Brake Using Eco-Friendly Material
Abstract: Brakes are crucial components for slowing or stopping the vehicle. Almost all vehicles use disc brakes. The working of a disc brake is simple; when the brake pedal is pressed, braking pads are forced mechanically against the rotor or disc on both surfaces. The friction generated between the rotor and brake pads slows down the vehicle. The design and materials of disc brakes play a significant role in their performance. …

Comparative Analysis of Natural and Synthetic Fibre-Reinforced Composites: Mechanical Properties, Processing, and Sustainability Considerations
Abstract: The development of fibre-reinforced composites has significantly advanced engineering applications due to their excellent strength-to-weight ratio, corrosion resistance, and versatility. Synthetic fibres such as glass and carbon provide superior mechanical performance, but their production is energy-intensive and environmentally harmful. Natural fibres, including jute, flax, banana, and hemp, offer biodegradability, lower cost, and sustainability benefits, though they often fall short in strength and durability. Hybrid composites frequently demonstrate improved performance by …
