Abstract
The study of the behavior of the brake pads of an ABS breaking system with different materials was done through the Finite Element Analysis Method using software tools.
The necessary steps to carry out the study were: determine the specifications, requirements and restrictions, type of analysis and physical variables to be studied as well as the mathematical model.
From this information the modeling of the system, discretization (mesh), establishment of the boundary conditions and finally resolution of the problem, generation of results and Post processing were made. It is fundamental to realize a quality mesh so that this allows to improve the convergence of results by optimizing the computational load so that the problem can be solved.
One of the most useful questions of this method is that in the post-processing stage, figures, curves and tables can be generated providing a wide range of results, the person doing the study determining which is the most relevant information for each case. In this work, temperature, heat flow, stress, strain and energy dissipated by the braking process were obtained.
