The peculiar feature of friction materials to absorb the kinetic energy of rotating wheels of an automobile to control the speed makes them remarkable in automobile field. The regulation of speed cannot be achieved with the use of single phase material as a friction material. Consequently, the friction material should be comprised of composite materials which consist of several ingredients. Incidentally, the friction materials were formulated with friction modifier, binders, fillers and reinforcements. Due to its pleasant physical properties, asbestos was being used as a filler. Past few decades, it is found that asbestos causes dangerous cancer to its inhaler, which provides a scope its replacement. Several attempts have been made to find an alternative to the hazardous asbestos. The efforts made by different researchers for the impact of every composition of composite friction material in the field are reviewed and studied for their effect on the properties of friction material. Surface morphological studies of different friction material are compared to interpret the concept of surface wear and its correlation with material properties.

Thermoelastic instability in automotive drum brake systems is investigated using a finite layer model with one-sided frictional heating. With realistic material properties of automotive brakes, the stability behavior of the one-sided heating mode is similar to that of the antisymmetric mode of two-sided heating but the critical speed of the former is higher than that of the latter. The effects of the friction coefficient and brake material properties on the critical speeds are examined and the most influential properties are found to be the coefficient of friction and the thermal expansion coefficient of drum materials. Vehicle tests were performed to observe the critical speeds of the drum brake systems with aluminum drum materials. Direct comparisons are made between the calculation and measurement for the critical speed and hot spot spacing. Good agreement is achieved when the critical speeds are calculated using the temperature-dependent friction material properties and the reduced coefficient of friction to account for the effect of intermittent contact.

This paper presents a new theory on frictional vibrations of paper-based friction material considering the interaction between its deformation and the consequent lubricant flow inside it. A frictional vibration model is proposed, in which a poroelastic body saturated by a viscous liquid is introduced, and then a stability criterion is derived on the assumption that vibrations in two directions, tangential and normal, are coupled. Compared with the experiment, it is confirmed that the proposed criterion can predict the stability limit more accurately than the conventional one, which does not take the deformation of the friction material into account and depends only on the slope of friction coefficient versus sliding velocity. Based on the present criterion, influences of material properties on the stability to frictional vibrations are discussed.

The experimentally observed, two-stage wear in the wet clutch friction material is directly related to temperature and engagement load. To gain insight into the durability of the friction lining, an extensive parametric analysis of the factors is performed that takes into account different groove patterns (waffle shape, radial, and spiral), internal structure and material properties. The temperature field is predicted using a thermohydrodynamic analysis with the consideration of the asperity contact stress during the engagement process. The results should be useful to facilitate the industrial design of friction lining by avoiding costly wear test.
