FIELD AND LABORATORY BRAKE STUDY ON THE M813, 5-TON CARGO TRUCK

The purpose of the work was to determine laboratory test parameters for baseline performance requirements on an inertia dynamometer for brake lining friction material for the M813, 5-ton truck. Operation field data were obtained and used in setting test parameters for a laboratory test. A laboratory test specification was developed for replacement brake linings for vehicles in the M809 series of trucks.
