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

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 pads for product development. This research aims to study the thermal conductivity of brake pads and define the thermal conductivity that appropriate to brake pads and also solve the problem of deterioration of braking automotive parts. To achieve this the 3 different ingredient brake pads from Compact International (1994) Co. Ltd. are studied in terms of the heat transfer behavior. The experimental work was set by simulating a brake on the single dynamometer at the braking speed of 50 100 and 130 km/h. As a results the significant parameters are copper and fillers respectively. It affects the heat transfer behavior by means of applying heat from the contact area between the brake pad and the brake disc to the caliper This knowledge will be used in the design of brake pad ingredients to determine the appropriate conductivity of the brake pads.

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%

The purposes of this study were to investigate the heat transfer and the vibration characteristics caused by front and back vented brake disc which had physically different shapes affecting braking distance. In accordance with the theory of heat transfer the heat transfer rates of two types of brake disc were different and played an important role in the deformation during usage. The single dynamometer was conducted to the experimental work as an engineering tool with boundary conditions according to JASO C406 standard. One degree of freedom (DOF) acceleration signals on the brake caliper were analyzed. The results obviously discovered that the back vented brake disc was able to reduce the vibration up to 43.5% comparing to the front vented brake disc in case of the braking temperature 200C initial breaking speed 50 km/h and the hydraulic pressure of 4 MPa. Besides the hydraulic pressure at 4 MPa generated the maximum vibration. Furthermore the initial braking speed and the braking temperature were also the important factors. Regarding braking distance results the results of the experimental work obviously discovered that the back vented brake disc created braking distance shorter than front vented brake disc. Besides there were important factors as braking temperature hydraulic pressure and initial speed of braking. Especially the high braking temperature caused an increase of deceleration and a decrease of braking distance. Moreover the high hydraulic pressure produced a deduction of braking distance and an increase of deceleration. Finally the initial speed of braking directly varied to the braking distance

The aim of this research is to create the center of mass testing machine for vehicles with maximum mass 3000 kilograms. By the performance of this machine is able to determine the center of mass 3 axis by horizontal longitudinal and vertical. On the other hand the verities of mass from 50 to 100 kilograms and the several of weight distribution at horizontal and longitudinal are applied to the condition of testing for reasonable to the position of the center of mass. The result of research discovered to the performance of center of mass tester was activated following to test conditions. Furthermore the weight distribution at longitudinal was the highest effect to the horizontal center of mass. By the way the value of weight distribution at horizontal is more effects to the longitudinal center of mass. Moreover increasing of mass was impact to the vertical center of mass and it’s independent to the position of weight distribution.
