Nowadays one of the automotive engineering is conductivity of brake pads playing a role in friction coefficient which means safety of customer. Thus thermal properties have been improved using composited materials. This project aims to study the heat capacity behavior of 3 different brake pads which are supported by the company Compact International (1994) Ltd. For experimental works temperature based on brake condition was simulated from 05 to 003°C at 5 MPa of pressure. By standard JIS D4413 testing condition of pressure was referred. The heat capacity values of brake pads are calculated under the temperature conditions. As a result of testing brake pad made of copper or high metal powders result in relatively low heat capacity. On the other hand brake pads containing fiber and a large amount of fillers result in an increased heat capacity and stability in various temperature conditions. The heat capacity varied according to the operating temperature. In addition the lubricant contained in the brake pads affects the higher heat capacity and stability at various temperatures.

Nowadays a disc brake is one of important auto parts for motorbike cycle industry which effected directly to life safety. As the result this project aims to test the performance of the disc brake in order to study the physical disc brake that effects to braking distance and to be an alternative for testing the brake disc. Therefore the braking performance tester was designed and created in the single dynamometer which was not over 9.70•kgm2 as the moments of inertia of motorcycles. Regarding JASO T204:2001 this test was focused on the 3 different types of brake discs (i.e. normal type grooving type and perforated type). The tested temperature was at normal state of the brake disc temperature (60°C - 80 °C) and at high state (more than 100 °C). The braking force from 9.81N to 34.33N at master cylinder was tested. The result revealed that at normal temperature the braking performance of the three disc brakes (normal type grooving type and perforated type) was at 7.29 9.10 และ 9.50 m/sec2 per 1m2 of contact surface areas respectively. However the brake performance at high temperature was at 7.21 9.03 และ 9.46 m/sec2 per 1m2 of contact surface areas respectively. This result reveals that the most efficient disc brake at normal temperature was perforated type of disc brake which was 30.32% different from normal type of disc brake. Likewise; the perforated type of disc brake was the most performance disc brake at high temperature which was different from normal type of disc brake at 31.21%

Recently the Thai industry has continually grown up and also plays a role to economic growth in the country which affects the many of automotive components to be in the market. While the degeneration and waste of automotive components had increased as well. Therefore a crash box is one of the automotive parts which damage from the accident. Consequently the researchers have created a prototype material to develop into the crash box to reduce the environment problem from automotive parts. The random mixture of water hyacinth and husk was attempted to up to 5 ingredients. By forming a solid cylinder and 200 mm of long was used as prototype of the crash box in this research. Thus the energy absorption using compressing test was attempted to by the universal testing machine. The results showed that using polymers as a binder with 50% of water hyacinth and 50% of husk was the better ability of energy absorption. Regarding this ingredient 1612444 J/m3 of the energy absorption was referred to indicate that is the best ability of energy absorption. It is probably reduce the severity of the impact in the event of pedestrian collision.

Recently the consumption rate of vehicle is continuously an increase as an economic growth. This not only causes the massive traffic but also effects on the accidental capacity especially the road accident between car and pedestrian. The most of victims who dead are Vulnerable Road Users are crashed by the front-end structure. Regarding this problem; the possibility of the Pedestrian Crash Simulator has studied and established following the Euro New Car Assessment Programs in Pedestrian Protection. This simulator can be adjusted in 3 axles of tested position. Besides the body forms are used as impactors which are pushed the high speed drive unit via the iron less linear motor. In addition the simulator can be adjusted from 0 to 65 of degree comparing the horizontal line. As a result the limitation of the Pedestrian Crashed Simulator is linear speeds because of budget limitation. The highest of performance is not more than 3000 mm/s with 19.46 mm/s2 of speeds and acceleration respectively. However this simulator can be developed the ability by addition of the power unit and control equipment. The highest acceleration should be 35.06 m/s2 within 1.76 m. of magnetic track rail to equivalent the specified condition of the EURO NCAP (in Pedestrian protection).

Nowadays one of the automotive engineering is conductivity of brake pads playing a role in friction coefficient which means safety of customer. Thus thermal properties have been improved using composited materials. This project aims to study the conductivity behavior of 3 different brake pads which are supported by the company Compact International (1994) Ltd. For experimental works temperature based on brake condition was simulated from 200 to 400°C and cooled down from 400 to 200°C at 1 5 and 8 MPa of pressure respectively. By standard JIS D4413 testing condition of pressure was referred. The non-linear of conductivity value are calculated from the temperature under steady state condition. As a result of testing there are several of parameters effecting on the non-linear conductivity value. The brake pad that is a mix of high-fiber affects the fluctuation of thermal conductivity. At the same time lubricant in the brake pad cause the stability of conductivity value in different temperature range at the same pressure. On the other hand the brake pad mixed hi-copper inspires the narrow range of conductivity value in different pressures at the same temperature. Moreover the conductivity value as a mention is inversely proportion with the coefficient of kinetic friction.
