Transient thermal response of solid, pinned and highly porous ventilated brake discs

During braking, heat is generated due to frictional contact between the brake pads and the brake disc (rotor) of a vehicle. At elevated temperatures, brake fade may occur, leading to potentially catastrophic brake failure in a vehicle. The heat-dissipating characteristic of a brake disc is a func...
