Carbon Composites. Cermet friction materials tend to be heavy, thus making the brake system less energy-efficient. Compared with cermets, carbon (or graphite) is a thermally stable material of low density and reasonably high specific heat. A combination of these properties makes carbon attractive as a brake material and several companies are manufacturing carbon fiber—reinforced carbon-matrix composites, which ate used primarily for aircraft brakes and race cats (16). Carbon composites usually consist of three types of carbon carbon in the fibrous form (see Carbon fibers), carbon resulting from the controlled pyrolysis of the resin (usually phenoHc-based), and carbon from chemical vapor deposition (CVD) filling the pores (16). 

There is much interest and concern for noise/vibration-free brake systems and there is much activity toward friction couples having reduced noise/vibration properties. In addition to better noise insulators, brake modifications in the form of different materials, different designs, and improved friction materials formulations and/or processes are being developed and implemented.

With the aim of gathering detailed mechanical and thermal input data for micro- to mesoscopic modelling of frictional brake systems, characterisation of a brake pad with a strongly simplified formulation was performed by means of SFM. The study encompasses a thermal and various mechanical contrasts [215]. The manifold mechanical contrasts obtained with one experimental set-up allow some cross-checks and correlations to be performed among the available images, thus facilitating data interpretation.

Friction materials are used in a variety of automotive and nonautomotive applications to control vehicle movement or for the transmission of power. This entry will limit its scope to automotive brake friction materials. Automotive friction materials are composites that are incorporated into a disk or drum brake system (a) for stopping or reducing the speed of a vehicle by converting kinetic energy into frictional heat or (b) to prevent the movement of parked vehicles. 

Original equipment (sold on new vehicles) friction materials are formulated to help the brake system meet three sets of requirements ... 

Friction materials are often characterized in terms of friction, wear, and noise performance. However, as explained earlier, these are characteristics of the complete brake system and not of the friction couple alone. Friction material characterization techniques... 

One of the most important properties of driveline fluids is their frictional performance in terms of both the level and durability. The fluid also has to be compatible with the components inside the transmission. Optimizing the frictional characteristics of a fluid for a particular application is absolutely critical to ensure trouble-free operation of the equipment, whether it be an automatic gearbox, synchronized manual gearbox or the wet brake system in a tractor. The problems that can be encountered are ... 

U A brake system consists of a hollow cylinder and a sleeve of negligible thickness (Fig. 2P-6). The relative angular velocity, pressure, and coefficient of dry friction between the cylinder and sleeve are a>, p, and p, respectively. Find (a) the steady interface temperature, (b) the radius R corresponding to the lowest interface temperature. 

Consider the drum-shoe brake system of a car (Fig. 3.5). The density, heat capacity, and thickness of the brake shoes and drum are (pj, pi), (cj, cz), and (Si, 82), respectively. The initial temperature of the system is uniform, say rM. During a stopping time ts, the pressure p between the shoes and drum, as well as the coefficient of dry friction p., are assumed constant and the angular velocity tu(r) is specified. We wish to determine the unsteady temperature of the brake system.

This paper provides a brief overview of the experience of the authors in the theory, research, development and use of conveyance friction arresting devices. It presents the development of a braking system that would fulfil all the requirements of various types of hoisting equipment (Hansel et al.l994, Rokita 1999, Wojcik 1994). 

Options for the purchase and refurbishment of second hand components were examined to demonstrate the life-cycle value of the new components (comprising the friction pulley, drum shaft, bearings, brake system, drive and control systems). 

Thermosetting phenolic resins are used in combination with other components as friction materials for brake systems. The design of such systems should account for the need to maintain a stable and reliable friction force under a variety of conditions, such as wide ranges of pedal pressure, vehicle speed, temperature and humidity. Fibers correspond to one of the ingredients and are used as reinforcement. Aramid pulp performs well as a reinforcement fiber in such systems because of its good filler retention, leading to enhanced wear resistance and friction stability (Kim and Jang, 2000).

This equation assumes that the driver brakes with maximal force to take full advantage of the pavement s coefficient of friction and that there is no delay between the application of the brakes, and the reaction of the vehicle braking system to the brake application. Because neither assumption is always justified, the actual stopping distance is somewhat longer than the one calculated. 

NOTE Refer to the applicable contaminated friction material criterion in "Brake Systems", when condition is present. 

Variable slip technique is used to measure the friction coefficient between tire and pavement. The test equipment consists of an automotive vehicle. Each test wheel contains a variable brake system. The resulting resistive force caused by friction between the tire and the pavement surface is sampled and recalculated to slip friction numbers. Frictional properties of pavement surface as a function of speed are measured by a d5mamic friction tester. A disk spins with its plane parallel to the test surface. The rubber sliders come into contact with the pavement, and torque is monitored when rotational velocity reduces, due to friction. A graph of friction vs. speed is plotted.
