Abstract

The aim of the current research is a comparison of the wear ratio on the brake pad with the real values and the simulation values. Therefore, brake pad samples prepared from cashew and ulexite mixtures were used. The variation of total deformation on and wear ratio is investigated with using Ansys. Also, in this study, the brake pad, and disc were designed using Catia v5. Data input of pressure is selected 1.05 MPa on pad surface samples and 500 seconds on a brake disc rotating at 6 m/s. This analysis was made for 5 different samples. On the other hand, we are not getting clear results because of some limitations such as creating materials and unknown some material properties. With some approaches, real results were approached. Results showed that the simulation results are linear to the values according to the real values. The results that are found on software, approximately between +%9 and -%14. Also, it was observed that wear occurred in the center of the pad. It was thought that this wear could be reduced by distributing the pressure applied to the surface of the pad.
