Abstract

Given the current context and the advanced stage of technology, which the braking systems of vehicles have reached, the main purpose of the studies and research is focused on presenting the main tribological aspects that contribute at improving the performance of braking systems, in order to ensure the vehicles’ safety and stability at braking, in any conditions. The performance of the braking system is a key factor for both producers and vehicle passengers, due to safety requirements, everincreasing. Thus, over time, numerous studies and research have been carried on in order to improve the performance of the braking system. In this paper are studied tribological phenomena through those, which contribute to the improvement of the braking system as performance, safety and stability.

Highlights

Given the economic importance of the automotive industry, the impact it has on modern society, many studies have focused on improving the performance of vehicles [1].Braking systems are essential for operating a vehicle in safe condition for both the driver, and for the other traffic participants
Amontons' friction laws apply to friction materials
The exact temperature variation depends on the characteristics of the friction material (Table 5) [20]

Summary

Introduction

Braking systems are essential for operating a vehicle in safe condition for both the driver, and for the other traffic participants. The braking system is submitted to strict legal conditions. The efficiency and reliability required for braking systems over time have implied their continuous improvement [2]. Research and development of new braking systems should be based on previous systems by testing their characteristics which, to a certain extent, have not met the needs, as well as the reliability of the system itself. The development of the system should be based on this experience, in order to not repeat the same disadvantages in the structure of the system, and to make efforts in order to obtain total quality and reliability [3]
