Fractures on Braking Component and Relations to Land-based Transportation Accident

The braking system is an essential part of vehicle transportation. Braking system functions to reduce or stop vehicle speed. The commonly braking system is to use the friction principle. Braking has a weakness in the lifetime of the braking component. In general, braking lifetime is affected by wear and mechanical damage. Mechanical damage can be caused by using the wrong type of component, and this weakness can be solved by researching braking components. This paper will discuss the damage to the braking system and its effects. One way to fix the risk of damage to the braking component is by modifying the material. By adjusting the material can increase the endurance of the braking component. The research process can be started by calculating the braking needed. Then make a modeling and experimental tests. The simulation process can provide economical and fast solutions in a study, but the experimental procedure can offer a real picture of a problem. The braking performance can be affected by the material changing, and the calculation of the effect can be done using a modeling or experimental process.
