Abstract
The brake liner is susceptible to high wear due to sustained abrasive forces exerted against the disc. This is furtheramplified by the rise in temperature due to friction of the bearing surfaces. While choice of the material has amarked influence on the rate of wear of the liner or its effectiveness in the Braking’ action experienced by the rider,the Design Engineer also needs to look into the behavior of the material over a range of operating conditions to findan optimal setting for recommendation. This work shall focus on this aspect of research while conducting extensiveexperimental investigation over a standard set up of Pin on Disc’ to arrive at a correlation of wear with respect tothe rpm of wheel. The data shall be treated with statistical tools like ANOVA to identify significance of theparameter/s. further analytical treatment shall be extended to include DOE using Taguchi methods to arrive at anoptimal level for the given significant parameter i.e. rpm of the wheel the study shall also include determination ofthe Regression equation using `MiniTab’, as a preferred tool for Analysis. The findings shall be evaluated to offer acrisp conclusion and / or recommendation for the industry to review the operating conditions of the braking systemlimited to the scope of work outlined above.
