The main objective of the present study is to optimize the geometric parameters of wedge disc brake for improving brake performance by applying the Taguchi method with orthogonal array robust design. The experimental tests using brake dynamometers are integrated with Taguchi method to find out the significant contributions of different types of geometric parameters for effective increasing of the brake performance. From Taguchi method results, the effective geometric parameters to improve the performance of wedge brake are obtained. Results of this work show that the most significant geometric parameters on wedge brake performance can be achieved through combination of the friction material thickness and friction material length.
