.../methodology/approach The temperature and coefficient of friction (COF) of friction pair composed of C/C-SiC were examined by a TM-I-type reduced-scale inertial braking dynamometer. The thermo-mechanically coupled model of friction pair is established to study the brake disc temperature using ADINA software...

... microscopy energy dispersive spectroscopy, were used to analyze the PU samples. Findings It can be found that the COF measured against 316 steel increases with the testing load because of the change of contact areas for the original PU samples. The effect of hydrodynamic lubrication and heat resulted...

... specimen and resin matrix composites (UCV018) as the pad specimen, the tribological test was performed with pin-on-disk reciprocating tribo-tester. Findings The coefficient of friction (COF) of the non-textured specimen was larger than that of the textured one. For the same pit diameter, a larger pit...
