Abstract
Brake pads are a component of discdrum brakes used in a variety of automotive and non-automotive applications. Typically, brake pads consist of steel backing panels and friction material. Recent changes to the manufacture process of these pads have increased their sustainability by incorporating renewable crops. This has been demonstrated by the use of natural fibres such as banana rind, palm fronds, and sugar cane. It is possible to replace aramid fibre with a more cost-effective and environmentally friendly alternative without sacrificing efficacy. Copper, lead, tin, antimony trisulphide, and whisker materials were eliminated from the formulation of brake friction materials in order to make them environmentally sustainable. This has been done to mitigate any potential negative environmental effects. As indicated by the weighted average dependent degree in extension evaluation, the eco-pad exhibited superior quality on the whole. The brake liner is a component that facilitates a mobile object's deceleration or cessation of motion. The safe operation of a vehicle's braking system requires the dependable absorption of kinetic energy from moving elements. The dissipation of heat is caused by the brakesabsorption of energy. The vehicle's velocity is reduced by the release of heat into the encircling atmosphere. Due to the interference between the brake drum and brake lining, the life expectancy of the brake lining is likely to be reduced. Modelling brake shoes requires the use of the SOLIDWORKS 2020 software and precise measurements taken from the brake shoe of the Hero Passion Pro motorcycle. To evaluate the effectiveness of three distinct categories of braking materials, namely static structural, steady-state thermal, and wear testing, the ANSYS19.2 software employs a FEA approach in order to achieve optimal results. This study evaluates distinct eco-friendly braking materials: composite banana peel, included in the experiments are total deformation, equivalent von Mises stress, equivalent elastic strain, total heat flux.
