This paper presents the performance of the adhesive joint shear strength for a braking system. In order to understand adhesive joint shear strength, adhesive with different area of contact are tested. In experimental testing Universal Testing Machine is used to determine shear stress induced in adhesive layer applied between brake pad and brake shoe. Comparative study for single layer and multilayer adhesive is presented while evaluating at the most suitable variant of the brake shoe with respect to the area of contact of the adhesive layer and the geometry manifested by the pattern of the adhesive layer applied.
