Abstract: | The disk-pad brake used in automobile is divided i nt o two parts: the disk, geometrically axisymmetric, and the pad, of which the geo metry is three-dimensional. In the course of braking, all parameters of the pro cesses (velocity, load, temperature, physicomechanical and tribological characte ristics of materials of the couple, and conditions of contacts) vary with the ti me. Considerable evidence has show that the contact temperature is an integral f actor reflecting the specific power friction influence... |
