1. A study of airborne wear particles from automotive disc brakes
Abstract : During braking, both the disc and pads in disc brakes are worn. Since disc brakes are not sealed,some of the wear particles generated can become airborne. READ MORE

2. Towards a simulation methodology for prediction of airborne wear particles from disc brakes
Abstract : During braking, both the rotor and the pads in disc brakes are worn. Since disc brakes are not sealed, some of the wear particles generated can become airborne. READ MORE

3. Tribological nature of squealing disc brakes
Abstract : In the stiff competition between car manufacturers, silent and vibration free brakes hasbecome increasingly important. The aim of the present work is to increase the knowledge of the fundamental friction mechanisms operating in brake systems and to study the parameters influencing disc brake squeal generation.

4. Particle emissions from car brakes : The influence of contact conditions on the pad-to-rotor interface
Abstract : Due to their adverse health effects emissions have been regulated for over three decades. Brake wear particulate matter is the most important non-exhaust source, however current knowledge is mainly limited to observational studies. READ MORE

5. Mechanical braking systems for trains: A study of temperatures, fatigue and wear by experiments and simulations
Abstract : Increased demand for shorter travel times, higher axle loads, increased volumes and increased punctuality of railway traffic calls for a better design and management of the railway subsystems. The present thesis deals with aspects of mechanical friction brakes, in the form of tread brakes and disc brakes. READ MORE
