Vehicle tests are considered the ultimate in friction material evaluation, but to be accurate these tests must be carefully designed to eliminate variations caused by changing conditions. ControUed-temperature tests and parallel-test controlled vehicles normally perform the function satisfactorily but at increased cost. 

Materials evaluation and selection are fundamental considerations in engineering design. If done properly, and in a systematic manner, considerable time and cost can be saved in design work, and design errors can be avoided. 

Materials evaluation should be based only on actual data obtained at conditions as close as possible to intended operating environments. Prediction of a material s performance is most accurate when standard corrosion testing is done in the actual service environment. Often it is extremely difficult in laboratory testing to expose a material to all of the impurities that the apparatus actually will contact. In addition, not all operating characteristics are readily simulated in laboratory testing. Nevertheless, there are standard laboratory practices that enable engineering estimates of the corrosion resistance of materials to be evaluated. 

It is essential to determine the concentration of each isomer and define limits for all isomeric components, impurities, and contaminants of the compound tested preclin-ically that is intended for use in clinical trials. The maximum level of impurities in a stereoisomeric product used in clinical studies should not exceed that in the material evaluated in nonclinical toxicity studies. This point is expanded in the ICH impurities guideline (Section 13.5.3).

Avoiding structural failure can depend in part on the ability to predict performance of materials. When required designers have developed sophisticated computer methods for calculating stresses in complex structures using different materials. These computational methods have replaced the oversimplified models of materials behavior relied upon previously. The result is early comprehensive analysis of the effects of temperature, loading rate, environment, and material defects on structural reliability. This information is supported by stress-strain behavior data collected in actual materials evaluations. 

This information is supported by stress-strain behavior data collected in actual materials evaluations. With computers the finite element method (FEA) has greatly enhanced the capability of the structural analyst to calculate displacement, strain, and stress values in complicated plastic structures subjected to arbitrary loading conditions (Chapter 2). FEA techniques have made analyses much more precise, resulting in better and more optimum designs. 

The compressive data are of limited design value. They can be used for comparative material evaluation and design purposes if the conditions of the test approximate those of the application. The data are of definite value for materials that fail in the compressive test by a shattering fracture. On the other hand, for those that do not fail in this manner, the compressive information is arbitrary and is determined by selecting a point of compressive deformation at which it is considered that a complete failure of the material has taken place. About 10% of deformation are viewed in most cases as maximum.
