THEORETICAL STUDIES ON PERFORMANCE AS REGARDS THE COEFFICIENT OF FRICTION OF BRAKE BLOCKS MADE OF COMPOSITE MATERIALS UNDER WET CONDITIONS

THEORETISCHE UNTERSUCHUNGEN ZUM REIBWERTVERHALTEN VON KOMPOSITIONSBREMSSOHLEN BEI NASSE

A study is made of analogical relationships with the theory of hydrodynamic lubrication in the case of braking on the wheel by brake blocks of composite materials, when this takes place under wet conditions. The hydrodynamic thrust of the block and the coefficient of friction of the humidity are calculated and compared with test results.
