1. DEVELOPMENT OF AUTOMOBILE DISK BRAKE PADS USING ECOFRIENDLY PERIWINKLE SHELL AND FAN PALM SHELL MATERIALS
Excerpt from the Study
The problem identified by this research is health risk associatedwith the use of asbestos as a friction material and theincompatibility of thenumerous materials currently used in the development of an asbestos free brake pads. Some of these health...
2. DEVELOPMENT OF LIGHT VEHICLE BRAKE PAD TEST RIG
ABSTRACT
This report presents the development of light vehicle brake pad test rig for testing and measuring the materials frictional characteristics such as brake pad wear rate, disc temperature, and average disc stopping time. Product validation and quality control is very necessary in...
3. DEVELOPMENT OF AUTOMOTIVE BRAKE PAD FROM COMPOSITES OF SHEA NUT (VITELLARIA PARADOXA) SHELL AND COW HOOF (BAUHINIA UNGULATA)
ABSTRACT
This research work used shea nut (vitellaria paradoxa) shell and cow hoof (bauhinia ungulata) as the reinforcement materials in the production of automotive brake pads. Taguchi method of experimental design and grey relational analysis were used to determine the optimal values...
