Brake noise reduction using brake pad with damping layer technique

Abstract

Nowadays, brake pad is a one of products that plays a role in the automotive parts industry and directly affects safety. Therefore, there are many designs of brake pad for product development. The technique of reinforcing the layer in brake pads is another option for developing such products. The objectives of this research are to solve the problem of noise from brake pads using the material layer reinforcement technique and raise the quality of brake pads to use in the industrial sector. As a result, the prototype brake pads with reinforcement techniques by means of damping layer were performed. Consequently, the experimental work reveals that the brake pads with damping layer technique for brake pads can reduce vibration and also brake noise at the same frequency at less 10 percent at braking speeds of 50, 100 and 130 km/h. Besides, this technique can be applied to the production of brake pads in the same formula. However, the prototype brake pads is still in the product development phase for testing in a variety of conditions both temperature factors and usage period
