Abstract
A multiple disc brake assembly having a plurality of interleaved rotor discs and stator discs which are cooperative with a stationary torque tube which has a carbon composite brake pad mounted on its reaction plate in such a manner to prohibit stress concentration due to relative thermal expansion between the non-similar materials of the torque tube and brake pad at the torque reaction points while providing a reaction mechanism to circumferential forces generated by brake friction.
