ABSTRACT

This B.Sc. project is about the composition, performance, finite element analysis and possible faults of the car brake system .The outline of the system units is presented and the function of each unit is discussed. The performance characteristics of the system (e.g. chemical composition, microstructure, wear rate, and friction coefficient) are presented and discussed. The solid model for some components of the brake system is done using solidworks Software. The finite element analysis is conducted, presented and discussed for the displacement and stress distribution on both the friction pad and the brake disk. The expected temperature distribution on the disk is presented and discussed. The drum brake forces were analysis to evaluate the friction force moment, normal force moment and the total torque applied in the drum brake. The maximum pressure on the shoe and its location is presented. A virtual prototype for Rotor, Caliper and splash was produced in project.
