Cairo, Egypt ABSTRACT This study describes an inertial dynamometer system (test rig) which has been applied to the testing of disc brake pads at different operating conditions. The test rig is equipped with several measuring instruments, and data acquisition systems [DAQ], which are necessary for performing the tests. Two sets of brake pads are tested. This study explains the temperature distribution obtained by experiments on two different shapes of brake discs pads affected by the types of shapes of brake discs pads, disc geometry and operating conditions. The test results also showed that the friction with hatched pad better fade resistance than the others. Keywords: - disc brake; thermal stress; hatched pads; temperature distribution. I. INTRODUCTION During the operation of the brake system, kinetic energy is converted into thermal energy through friction between the brake pad and rotor faces. Excessive thermal loading can result in surface cracking, judder and high wear of the rubbing surfaces. High temperatures can also lead to overheating of the brake fluid, seals and other components. Initially the generated thermal energy is transferred by conduction to the components in contact and next by convection and radiation to environment (Fig.1) as explained in [1, 2, 3]. Brakes absorb the kinetic energy of moving masses by help of friction
