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. …
