Equation (124) is a canonical Bessel equation. The solution of this equation
has the form (Bibl.26) of
R1= CuJ0 (pr) -1- C2Y0 (pr),
where where Jo(pr) is a Bessel function of zero order of the first kind; Yo(pr) is a Bessel
function of zero order of the second kind.
To solve eq.(123), let us write it in the following form:
Z"-~-p2Z=. 0.
The solution of eq.(126) may be presented in the following manner:
(126)
Z = C3 COS P (Z -1- 70). (127)
Therefore, the partial solution for eq.(115) can then be written as
01part = C. cos (? (z -1- zo) [C1 J0 (pr) + CYO(pr)j.
? Placing the arbitrary invariable C3 into parentheses we get
01 part = i.OS p (z + z0) [C'J0 (pr) + C"YO (pr)]
The general solution will then be
0' _ cos pi (z + zo) [C{J0 (Pir) + CiYo Oil)],
(128)
which also satisfies eq.(115) and the boundary conditions of eq.(116). At z = 0,
we have Of = e*. Therefore,

? It is clear that this is possible only when each of the terms in eqs.(137)
and (138) in parentheses is equal to zero, i.e.,
PtJo (PtRI) - aJo (PtR1) 0;
PjJo (PiR2) -F aJo (PiR2) = 0;
PiYo (PiR1) - aYo (PjRj) = 0;
PtYo (PiR3) + - QYo (PiR2) = 0.
The relationships of (139) - (142) are possible when pi is the root of the cor-
responding equation.
From the general theory of the Bessel function (Bibl.32, 33) it is known that
rJn (pr) dr = R~ [ J,i (PR) -F C1 -- R'Prl A (PR)] (143)

If p is the root of the equations, then
C{,[P{Jo (PtR3) + zJo (PiR2)1+ Ct [ptYo (PRs) `I-

(144)
(145)
In our concrete case, when p is the root of eqs.(139) - (142) and the order of
the Bessel functions is n = 0, eq.(145) is written in the following manner:

rJo (Pir) dr == 2pa (a2 + p2) Jo (pR).

To find the coefficients Bi and Bi, let us take advantage of the expansions
of eq. (130) :
Multiplying the left and right-hand terms of the expansion (147) by rJo(pir)drs_

Equation (159) is a function of the coordinates z and r and the parameters 6
and pi. The parameter a, again as before, represents the thermal characteristic of
the material of the pair element (a where at is the coefficient of heat emis-
sion and X the coefficient of heat conductivity).
The basic parameter pi of eq.(159) is easiest to compute by a graphic solution

In this way, the parameter of the general solution of the differential aqua-
,tion (159) is computed; this parameter, resulting from eqs.(139) and (140), is a
function of the thermal parameters and geometric dimensions of the elements of the
;friction pair.
To study the performance of a friction machine with complete reciprocal contact
overlap, eq.(159) which characterizes stationary heat conditions is quite adequate.
It should be noted that the differential equation of nonstationary pro-
cesses (117) with the initial and boundary conditions (118) and (119) is solved in a
similar way. The general solution of eq.(117) is sought in the form of

The similarity of heat phenomena can be preserved if one or several criteria of
similitude (Bibl.23) are maintained.
? In particular, similarity of heat flows, which is sufficiently accurate in
practice for a stationary temperature field of rubbing bodies, is ensured by the
constancy of the coefficient a Tp which is computed from egs.(100) and (179). Ilow-
ever, in view of the complexity of these equations for a preliminary clarification
of the conditions of similitude, the solution of Fourier's equation for linear heat
flow can be used.

The equality (201) makes it possible to study the influence of different groups
of parameters for two different models.
As an example, let us examine the influence of shape and area in a nominal
contact.
For this, we presume the following:
;
1) Same materials of the rubbing bodies, XT =X
2) Same sliding speeds, vT = v;
3) Load changes by n times, pT = pn;
4) Area of nominal contact changes, by n times:
case a - at a change in form of the nominal contact:
hi = hl, h2 = h2n;
case b - at geometric similitude of form of the contact:
hi . hi j/n and h; = ht Yn.

(205)
This ratio shows that, in geometrically similar nominal contacts, their dimen-
sions do not at all affect the ratio of the similitude criteria.
In particular, if the coefficient of friction does not depend on pressure, we
will have ft = f for the same materials. If, in addition, the same conditions of
heat exchange in the ambient medium are assumed, then a" = at. In this case, the
equality (205) is considerably simplified:

The correlation (206) shows that a change in load and area has little effect)
since the quantity n appears in a ratio of 1/4. Therefore, the same conditions for
heat exchange with the ambient medium are'not the best for minature-scale operations
of heat phenomena. It is easy to see that, if all = at V-n, the equality (206) will
assume the form
Therefore, the coefficient a.1pis a necessary and sufficient criterion of similitude.
The same results are obtained with pt = p, vsk = vsk n, other conditions being
equal.
Some studies for determining the criteria for miniature-scale operations were
made by Parker (Bibl. 35), but the value of these studies is considerably reduced
? because he did not take into account the process of heat emission to the sur-
rounding medium. In connection with this and also as a result of the admitted mathe-
matical error, Parker's formula is not correct.

As is generally known, actual aircraft brakes work with nearly complete or suf-

siderably higher temperatures are developed in these actual units than the tempera-

Thus, to create a small power laboratory setup it is necessary to single out a
basic parameter which can be considered essential and practically adequate for de-

The operating conditions of the actual aircraft brake, for which the test
materials are intended, are usually known. The specific pressure and speed of slid-
ing are also know,- but, most important, the temperatures and the ratio of friction
areas are known. In other words, the reciprocal overlap, under which the tested
S materials should perform, is known.
For this reason, testing conditions are selected on laboratory friction machine
i-47 which correspond to actual heat conditions.
Usually, the tests are conducted under constant specific pressure -rith an over-
lap corresponding to the actual unit, and at various gradually decreasing speeds of
sliding ( from 0.125 to 5 m/sec). i:oreover, the duration of testing at every stage
of speed is such that the heat conditions become practically stabilized.
Thus, each stage of speed gives a definite degree of temperature. Usually, the
duration of an experiment at a given stage of speed is 15 min, since the heat con-
ditions are practically stabilized within 3-h min.
Accordingly, the oscil.lograph readings for the brake moment ( and consequently
? for the friction coefficient) as well as the galvanometer readings for the tempera-
ture are taken every 5, 10, and 15 min after the start of the experiment, for a
given stage of speed. If, at a given stage of temperature, no deformation of materi-
al takes place, then all three readings on the oscillograph tape are identical.
In this way, moving from one thermal stage to a higher one, we reach the temp-
eratures which occur in the actual friction unit.*
Temperatures of the order of 100-600?C are usually reached at sliding speeds of
vsk = 1.6 - 2 m/sec. Higher temperatures (900-1000?C and higher) are formed in the
tested samples at sliding speeds of vsk = 3.5 - 5 m/sec.
,~13efore the basic tests, the specimens are fitted together at a low tempera-
40 ture so that the effect of the high temperatures on material properties is eliminat-
ed when friction takes place. The fitting is done approximately and is considered
complete when the entire friction surface of the sample shows traces of wear.

The resistance of the test pair to wear is rated according to the wear of the
samples in terms of .weight. The specimens are weighed before and after each test.
Knowing the length of the friction path traveled and the friction area of each ele-
ment of the pair, it is easy to compute the intensity of wear JB (mg/m . cm 2 ) as a
function of temperature. Moreover, the linear intensity of wear J is sometimes com-
puted.
To approximate the heat conditions of the experiment conducted with a labora-
tory setup (friction machine 1-47) as closely as possible to the heat conditions of
an actual brake (chamber or disk type), i.e., to get actual thermal gradients in
materials of a pair - artificial electric heating or cooling by compressed air was
used, or else conditions of heat transfer from the samples into the surrounding
medium were varied by means of insulating gaskets and coatings.
All this work was conducted with small test samples to find the best types of
frictional materials for brakes of high-speed jet aircraft. In the course of work
0 on the machine I4.7, there was an opportunity not only to rate materials according
to a given index but to develop suggestions for making the friction materials them-
selves.

in the past, about 70 friction materials of different types have been tested.
Some materials were tested in several different ways.
All test materials can be divided into two basic groups: 1) nonmetallic frict-
ion materials and 2) cerot friction materials. Both these groups were tested in a
pair of alloyed cast iron, type Ch'_"T h, ~.,:hich is used in m~rn'facturing brake drtuns.

was noted that the Plastic trrTt displayed some tendency of becoming coated with the

On this basis, it was possible to recommend the Plastic "H" for actual tests on
an inertia stand in an actual brake.
Tests made on the machine I-47 and on an inertia stand permitted conclusions on
the following principles of manufacturing friction materials:
1) Friction materials should consist of components which change their mechan-
ical properties very little when used within broad temperature limits..
2) Friction materials should contain a component which prevents the appearance
of scratches and fold-over.

the quality of the friction surface and practically eliminates fold-over since the

Friction Machine I-h
Tests were conducted on a machine of the type-!L7, which has two structural
variants for mounting the specimens and which allows samples to be tested:
1) when friction takes place between their bases at a different
ratio of contact surfaces.
2) when friction takes place along the gcneratrix a1 a different
ratio of contact surfaces.
For the first variant the shape of the specimens is shorn in Fig. 48. In the
lower specimen, usually metallic, narrow notches are cut to remove wear particles.
The upper specimen may be provided with notches whose size is determined by the re-
quired ratio of contact surfaces. The Sizes of samples for the first variant coin-
cide w th the dimensions of the inner sample for the second variant (Fig. L.9).
For the second variant, in which the inner sample coincides in dimension with
the specimens of the first variant, the outer specimen is built up of several

are connected to the revolving spindle.

the necessary pressure on the specimen. In the second variant, the spindle has no

A thermocouple is built into the stationary specimen, with the cold junction
located at a distance of 1 mm from the friction surface. The safe margin of linear
? wear is up to 0.5 mm, after which the thermocouple should be attached in a new place.
The friction surface of the metal sample is cleaned before lapping.

To determine the heat resistance in a
friction pair to be tested, a load on a
lever is used which provides specific pres-
sure on the test specimens corresponding to
the actual specific pressure of that fric-
tion unit for which the test pair is in-
tended.
This specific pressure is maintained
constaht during the entire test. Also, the
I
specimens are prepared for testing in such
a way that, in the contact plane (contact
is achieved by having the bases touch) re-
ciprocal contact overlap of the specimens
would be analagous (or close) to recip-
rocal~contact overlap in the actual fric-
tion unit
After this the specimens, which are
under a given pressure, are made to slip
relative to each other.
The sliding speed vsk increases gradually by stages from 0.125 to 5 m/sec, and

at each stage a definite temperature is formed for the pair under test. Usually the
test is conducted at 7 - 9 speed stages.
The duration of the experiment for each stage is 15 min. Normally, stabiliza-
tion of the heat conditions is reached after three or four minutes. Therefore, the
? oscillograph reading for the friction moment and the galvanometer reading (or oscil-
lograph reading) for temperature are made every 5, 10, and 15 min after starting the
experiment at a given step.
If, at a given temperature, no changes occur in the materials of the friction
pair then all three readings on the oscillograph tape are identical.
Thus, passing from one stage to another, temperatures as they exist in the act-
ual friction unit are obtained. Usually, for many friction materials, temperatures
of 400-600?C are reached at sliding speeds of vsk - 1.6 - 2.11 m/sec. However, in
general the testing of a given friction pair is not stopped at the actual tempera-
ture stage but is continued to determine the limits of friction properties in the
test pair. On the friction machine I-47, testing can be conducted at a temperature
? of 1000?C and higher. Such temperatures are created in the samples when the sliding
speeds reach vsk = 11.0 - 5.0 m/sec.
The wear resistance of a friction test pair is rated according to the wear in
terms of weight of the cooled specimens, which are weighed on analytical scales be-
fore and after each experiment at a given temperature stage. If, in some cases, it
is more convenient to have a linear intensity of wear, several readings must be used
for fixing a mean value for the difference in linear dimensions of specimens, after
they have been in rubbing contact for fifteen minutes at a given temperature stage.
Basic changes (change in color, charring, sparking, fouling etc.) are usually
recorded by the experimenter in his records. The dependence on temperature of both
the friction coefficient and the intensity of wear are found as a mean value during
? the testing of three specimens.
The coefficient of friction f is calculated according to the following formula:

LABORATORY TESTING OF FRICTIONAL PAIRS IN ACTUAL
BRAKES ON AN INERTIA STAND
?
Under nonstationary heat conditions, the rating of friction properties in small
samples cannot give exact results. As a result of this, actual tests of brakes on
an inertia stand operating under definitely nonstationary conditions because of de-
cisive importance. These tests have the drawback in that they require much power
and very powerful and bulky equipment.
Short Description of an Inertia Stand
The underlying principle of tests on an inertia stand is as follows: The fly-
wheel and drum are set in motion and the speed is increased up to the required number
of revolutions; in this manner, the energy of the flywheel masses is, stored. This
energy is equal to the kinetic energy applied to the aircraft brake being tested, and
it is absorbed and dissipated by braking the stand to which the test brake is mounted
until the flywheel masses and drum come to a complete stop with the wheel pressing
against the latter. Figure 50 shows a general view of an inertia stand and control
panel. In the process of braking, any changes in the brake moment, the pressure in
the brake, and the revolutions of the stand are automatically recorded according to
the braking time.
The wheel is pressed against the drum with a force equal to the radial stress
transmitted to the given wheel by the weight of the aircraft when at a standstill.
The compressive force is controlled by contraction of the tire. Pressure is created

in the test brake (by pneumatic or hydraulic means), with the magnitude of the pres-
sure being so selected that the required brake moment is attained. In existing-cham-
ber brakes, a pressure of PT - 15-40 kg/cm. 2 is
used. Multidisk brakes have pressures
in the cylinders differing little in magnitude from the pressures in a chamber brake,
? while the pressure in a unidisk brake cylinder is considerably higher than the pres-
sure in chamber and multidisk brakes. With some unidisk brakes cylinder, the pres-
sure reaches 180 kg/cm2 and more.
According to standards, the peripheral speed of the stand drum and therefore the
speed of the wheel forced against it by the test brake, at incipient braking, should'

(211)
When testing a brake isolated from a wheel, the shaft revolutions should be e-
qual to the wheel revolutions, guaranteeing a speed equal to 0.8 vpos0
The number of flywheels connected to the stand shaft should be such that, at a
given peripheral speed, the kinetic energy of the flywheels is equal to
AT = 0,03GPST vP05 + U, (212)
where AT - kinetic energy,-standardized for a given brake;
Pst = radial stationary stress on wheel;
Vpos = landing speed of the aircraft for which the given wheel and brake are -
intended;
U - energy loss in the stand due to overcoming friction in the shaft bearings,
aerodynamic resistance to rotation of flywheel masses, and resistance to
rolling of the wheel over the drum.
?
After the stand is stopped, the wheel is disengaged from the drum and cooled to
room temperature. Then the cycle is repeated, i.e., the stand is brought to the re
quired speed, the wheel is pressed to the drum, and the test brake,is applied to
bring the stand to a full stop.

The inertia stand (Fig. 51) consists of a shaft, a set of heavy flywheels (2)
and a drum (3) installed on the stand shaft, an electric motor (5) connected to the
end of the stand shaft, a brake (1,.) for stopping the stand in emergency cases, a pres-
sure device (6), a device (1) for testing isolated brakes, and the base.
Basic Data of the Stand: Motor Pn-1320, N = 150 kw, n = 1500 rpm; maximum peri-
pheral speed of drum v 400 km/hr, inertia moments of revolving masses: Jmax - 211
kg/m-sect, Jmin = 28 kg/m-sect, maximum size of tested wheel 850 " 250, Pst = 3800 kg.
The Main Shaft of the stand, carrying the flywheels (2) and the drum (3), is
set on four antifriction bearings, one on each side of the drum and two next to the
flywheels. An electric motor is connected to the right end of the shaft over an
elastic coupling. A brake drum for testing isolated brakes is connected to the left.
Between the stand drum (3) and the flywheels, a special coupling is installed which
makes it possible, when necessary, to disconnect the shaft and thus to disengage all
flywheels at once. The shaft with the system of flywheels, drum and bearings, rests
on supports set on a common solid frame of welded girders connected by anchor bolts
? to the base.
The Flywheels of the Stand are made in the form of solid steel disks of various
thicknesses. Each flywheel can be easily connected to the shaft and, when necessary,
disconnected. When flywheels have to be connected to the shaft, they are bolted to
counterdisks which are rigidly connected to the shaft. Disconnected unused flywheels
rest on special cylindrical footings fastened on supports. The number and weight of
flywheels is selected so that, at a given peripheral speed vokr the required kinetic
to A with an accuracy of
energy can be obtained in a range from Astand min stand max,
+ 5%.
The Drum of the stand (3) consists of a steel cylinder 600 mm wide and 106 mm
in diameter, welded to two ribbed steel
? tightly to the stand shaft.

of 507 mm and a width of 140 mm, rigidly mounted to a bracket set on the stand base,
and a steel brake drum connected to a flange solidly set on the main shaft. The
weight of the brake drum of the emergency brake is so selected that, when the maximum
energy of the stand is absorbed in emergency braking, its temperature reaches 500?C.
? The maximum brake moment of the emergency brake equals 250,000 kg/cm when pT = 17 `
kg/cm2. The brake stops the stand at a speed of vokr = /L00 km/hr in 6 sec. The e-
mergency brake is switched on from the control panel.
The Electric DC Motor (5) of the stand is fed from a separate motorgenerator
system. With all flywheels connected, the motor brings the machine to the maximum
number of revolutions in 2 min. Starting and stopping and controlling the speed of
the motor is done, through the control panel.
The Pressure Device serves to press the wheel and the tested brake to the stand
drum. It consists of two frames in one horizontal plane. The first of these frames
is hinged to the stand frame; the second is fastened to the cylindrical guides of the
first frame. The second frame can slide along guides of the first frame and so per=
form reciprocating motion under the action of the hydraulic cylinder. A wheel and
its axle are set on the second frame. The wheel axle is rigidly fastened in clamps
to the second frame.
The test brake is set freely on the wheel axle so that, under the action of the
brake moment, it can easily turn around the axle center. A lever is fixed to the.
brake, with its free end resting on the piston of a hydraulic dynamometer which
transfers the pressure along a pipe to a manometer recorder on the control panel. _
The pressure device has a hydraulic system to help press the wheel against the
drum and disengage it. The rate of pressing and the speed of disengaging are constant
and are equal to 0.5 m/sec. The compressive force is regulated by a reduction valv-c
switched into the line between pump and hydraulic cylinder and is controlled by the
? magnitude of radial contraction of the tire pressed to the drum of the wheel. Control
of the hydraulic system of the pressure device is carried out from the control panel.

The Setup (1) for Isolated Test of brakes consists of a support to which the
test brake is mounted. The setup has a dynamometer connected by a pipe to a record-
er on the control panel; the free end of the brake lever rests on this dynamometer.
A removable brake drum is connected rigidly to the end of the shaft and revolves to-
0 gether with the shaft.
The Base has a depth of 3.5 m. It is furnished with an iron trussing and anchor
bolts which connect the stand frame to it. To eliminate vibrations, the area of sup-
port and the volume of the base are designed in such a manner that the amplitude of
vertical vibrations of the base is less than its elastic contraction under active
loads. At the same time, the frequency of the base vibrations, when the stand is
operating, is 3Q% higher than the frequency of vibrations induced by the acting loid.
The Control Panel for the stand has one vertical and one slanted panel. On the
vertical panel are the manometer recorder and the manometers which show the air pres-
sure in the storage balloon, reduced pressure, pressure in the test brake and pres-
sure of the hydraulic system of the pressure device. In addition, the vertical panel
? carries an ammeter for the electric drive of the stand, a galvanometer to measure the
temperature of the heated wheel and brake during testing, an electric tachometer show-
ing the peripheral speed of the stand drum, and a system of signal lights used when
the stand is being started.
The slanted panel carries pushbuttons and knobs for controlling the stand, the
electric drive, the hydraulic system of the pressure device, the emergency brake, and
a toggle switch for switching the tape recorder mechanism on and off. Above the ma-
chine-controlknob is a manometer to show the pressure in the emergency brake. The
panels of the control panel are lighted by a fluorescent tube mounted to the top of
the vertical panel. When tests are conducted, an operator standing at the control
panel faces the test object. The control panel is.1300 mm high. This height was
? selected to permit the operator to watch not only the panel instruments but also the
test object.

Power test on the stand were preceded by selective tests of friction materials
on small samples. These tests had been conducted in the Laboratory for Friction and
Frictional Materials of the Machine Studies Institute, Academy of Sciences, USSR.
? Testing-Conditions on an Inertia Stand
As mentioned above, after preliminary tests on small samples several types of
new experimental frictional materials which have shown better properties when com-
pared to the mass-produced friction plastic No. 22 were recommended for actual brake
tests on the inertia stand. Let us see how the tests of these suggested materials
were conducted.
The characteristics of these experimental frictional materials and mass-produc-
ed materials are shown in Table 2.
Tests were conducted on wheels, size 660 x 160, equipped with two brakes of
basically different design. In one case, the wheel had a unidisk brake with a part-
ially open and ventilated friction surface; in the other case, the wheel had a cham-
ber brake whose friction surface was mostly covered.
The brake disk and brake drum of the wheel were made of ChNMKh cast iron.
The tests were conducted under the following conditions:
Radial stress on wheel pst, kg - 2250:
Pressure in pneumatic tire po, kg/cm2 - 7.5:
Stationary contraction of tire b st, mm - G.O.
When tested on a disk brake, the peripheral speed of the stand drum was vow, _
0.8 vpos = 160 km/hr. This speed corresponded to the sliding speed of the disk brake

? Tests with a chamber brake under calculated conditions were conducted at two

seeds of v = 211, 254, and 3 00 kni/hr? The weight of the brake disk was equal to

the stand, when tested on a disk brake, were assumed equal to one half of the energy
normal for a wheel of 660 X 160: AT 2 = 125,000 kgm.
Under conditions of different pressures in the brake, tests were conducted at

A pressure PT = const was intermittently applied to the brakes and was maintain-
ed until the flywheel forces of the stand came to a complete stop. At the end of
each individual braking, 15-20 sec after the wheel had been stopped, the temperature
was measured by means of the thermocouple. This was the temperature of the brake
? drum (or brake disk when a disk brake was being tested).
The wear was figured by measuring the thickness of the brake lining before and

braking. Beam compasses served for measuring.
Before the tests, the test lining was fitted to the friction surface of the brake
disk and the friction surface of the drum. The brakes were worked on until the selec-
ted magnitude of pressure in the brake resulted in a calculated magnitude of the
? brake moment MT max , which was recorded at three consecutive brakings.
Considering that the landing speeds of jet aircraft are equal to 50-100 m/sec,
the sliding speeds of a friction pair in wheel brakes of modern jet aircraft are made
equal to vsk = 25-50 m/sec.
The power absorbed by a brake is found from the formula
NT = IPudST r r VPos = IAudSTUstc0
(215) -
and this power characterizes the effectiveness of braking. The magnitude of the pow-
er NT shows how effectively a given brake absorbs the given kinetic energy of an air-
craft. The more kinetic energy is absorbed by a given brake in unit time, i.e., the
becomes, the more in-
higher (other conditions being equal) the mean power NT mean
? tensive will be the braking and the higher the brake efficiency. Equation (215) in-
dicates that the power absorbed by a given brake depends not only on its geometric
dimensions ST, rT, specific pressure pud and rate of sliding vsk, but also on the
magnitude of the friction coefficient f of the pair. Therefore, we may state that
the more power is absorbed by a given brake at a given pud and vsk the higher will be
the efficiency of a given frictional brake pair. The specific powers used in modern
brakes are in the range 30 - 70 kg/cm2 sec.
The design of a brake has a noticeable effect on the performance of the brake
-lining. As shown by experiments, the friction plastics 6FP, 6FS, and 11141' combined
with cast iron ChMNKh and operating under conditions of a unidisk brake with a part-
ially open friction surface, have a lower friction coefficient than when operating
? under conditions of a chamber brake. This is explained by the different heat con-
ditions on the friction surfaces of chamber and disk brakes. This also explains the

fact that the efficiency of a pair, the stability of its friction coefficient at
braking, and its resistance to wear are different for disk and chamber brakes.
Braking efficiency, stability of friction coefficient, and resistance to wear of
the tested frictional pairs were studied as functions of the sliding speed vsk and
? the pressure pT in a brake whose size, in the case of chamber and unidisk types, was
proportional to the specific pressure pud?
The kinetic energy of the stand in these tests was made constant and equal to the
standardized kinetic energy for a given wheel. Additional tests were made with the
plastic No. 22, combined with cast iron ChNNKh, in a chamber brake. This was done at
calculated MT max and vokrO i.e., at calculated NT and for different magnitudes of
kinetic energy. The dependence of the wear of the brake lining on the value of the
kinetic energy was determined in these tests.
The speed of fitting of brake shoes is an important feature in braking. The
best friction pair, other conditions being equal, is one which requires a minimum a-
mount of braking for a calculated brake moment, under calculated pressure.
? After mounting unidisk and chamber brakes, ten brakings were made for each plas-
tic under calculated conditions which were the same for all tested plastics, i.e., at
the same magnitudes of max., vokr and AT. As long as these ten brakings for every
sample were made at similar MT max and vokr' it can be said that tests were made un-
der similar maximum power

The mean value of the power NT mean in the process of braking depends'.-on the
value of the mean brake moment. Since various test plastics may have a different
stability of the friction coefficient, the value of the mean specific brake power will
? be different for different materials. Moreover, in every one of the tested plastics _
the value of the absolute maximum friction coefficient differed from the absolute

The results of the tests are shown in Table 3: The numerical values of the max-
for each material at pT = 8, 11, 12, 13, 16, 20, 2L., 26, 28, and 30 kg/cm2. Using a

speed in a unidisk brake at a speed of vokr = 160 km/hr, two braking tests were made
ducted to determine the resistance to wear of each given pair and also to determine
the general comparative evaluation of the friction characteristics of the tested

To determine the dependence of the braking efficiency and the stability of the

value of the maximum friction coefficient of other plastics. Therefore the value of'.-
imum calculated brake moment MMT max , of the mean brake moment IL , of the length

the shoes for one braking - all were obtained as mean values of ten brakings operat-
.a chamber brake.
Table 3 shows that when the braking is performed under the.same calculated con-
ditions for all tested pairs, at practically equal MT max , AT, and vokr, the disk
brake equipped with linings made of plastics 111111 and 6FS guarantees a shorter brake

path for a wheel, compared with a brake equipped with linings made of plastic No. 22
At the same time, to get the calculated brake moment, the first brake requires the
lowest pressure.
A chamber brake equipped with linings made of plastic No. 22, when braking un-
? calculated conditions at a sliding speed of the pair of 21.1 m/sec, also gives a:
der
longer brake path of the wheel than a chamber brake quipped with linings made of the,
experimental plastics 6FS, 6FP, and "M". In a chamber brake with linings made of the
plastics No. 22, the pressure in the brake required for MT max 0-4 at this speed is
no longer lower but higher than in brakes with linings made of the plastics 6FP and
6FS.
?
At a higher sliding speed of the pair equal to 39.6 m/sec, corresponding to a
peripheral speed of vokr = 3 00 Ian/hr according to eq. (214), the chamber brake with
linings made of the plastic No. 22 gives a shorter brake path length than a brake
with linings made of the plastics "M", 6FP, and 6FS. However, the pressure in a
chamber brake with facings made of the plastic No. 22 was double at this speed com-
pared to a brake with the plastics 6FP and 6FS. This is explained by changes in the'
surface of the friction pairs, which take place in the braking process.

brake shoe friction surface made of the plastic 6FP, while Fig. 53 gives the same

As can be seen from Fig. 47, the specific feature of the plastic 6FP is a well-
defined film on the friction surface of the shoe. This film prevents the metal of
the brake jacket from folding over on the shoe.

these plastics when they operate in combination with cast iron_ChNMKh. All three
plastics produce a more sharply expressed delay in reaching the calculated brake mo-
ment at the start of braking and produce depressions in the middle of braking. At
the very end of braking, all three plastics produce a sharp rise in the value of the
brake moment; the diagram concludes with a peak at the end of the braking path. The
moment diagram for a brake with linings of plastic No. 22 has the sharpest peak.
The peak-like nature of the growth of the moment at the end of braking is dang-
erous because the nature of such a change in the value of the brake moment shows a
tendency to jamming; besides, the nature of such a change in the brake moment during
the process decreases the braking efficiency most. _
The diagrams shown in Fig. 58 indicate that the plastic No. 22 plus the cast
iron ChNMKh react most sharply to an increase of the initial sliding speed, i.e., to
the action of the surface temperature on the friction coefficient of a pair.

6FP and cast iron ChNMKh, under conditions of a disk brake and in the range of slid-
ing speeds from 160 to 5 km/hr, operates stably and that its friction coefficient de-
pends little on the temperature, produced on the friction surface of a pair. Plastics
'M1' and No. 22, under these conditions, produce a less stable friction coefficient.
At the start of braking, when the sliding speed and consequently the surface
temperature have the highest values, the brake moment of a unidisk brake with linings
made of the plastic "M" has the lowest value. Then, as the speed decreases, the
brake moment gradually increases and reaches a maximum at a speed of 75-80 km/hr.
Then, regardless of a decrease in sliding speed, the brake moment decreases. This
decrease in the moment apparently is the result of a temperature influence during the
second half of the brake path, the temperature in this case being not surface but
volume temperature of the brake disk. The plastic No. 22 shows approximately the
same change in the frictional properties as a function of the speed.

and reaches a maximum at the speed of 40-15 km/hr. Later, at the end of braking, the'!_

? The rate at which the greatest decrease in the brake moment during the braking
process takes place and at which the curve; Mr - f (v) forms a depression is not the
same for all tested plastics. Speed has the greatest effect on the value of the {
brake moment when a brake is equipped with the plastic No. 22. This type of brake,

it decreases and, in the depression of the curve at vokr - 70 Ion/hr, reaches a value

reaches the value of 27,000 kg/cm. At the very end of braking, at a speed approaching
zero, the brake moment decreases again from 27,000 kg/cm to 22,500 kg/cm. A chamber
brake with the plastic No. 22 shows fluctuations in the value of the brake moment

very start of braking; then it decreases still more and, having reached a minimum at
,a speed of 150 km/hr, begins to increase slowly again. Only near the end of braking,
at a speed of vokr = 15 3 0 kaa/hr, does the brake moment reach its calculated value
and after that drops sharply.
The phenomenon of sharp decrease in the brake moment at the end of braking, just
before the wheel stops, had been noted by us before. It occurs in brakes equipped
with all tested plastics. The explanation should be looked for in the prolonged
(10-15 sec) action of the volume temperature on a given plastic.
The decrease in'the brake moment at high speed (300 - 100 km/hr) apparently can
be explained as the action of high temperatures on the friction surface.
Figure 61 shows that a brake equipped with the plastic No. 22, at nearly all
speeds, has a brake moment less than the brake moment of brakes equipped with plastics
6FP and 6FS. As mentioned before, this is explained by the fact that a brake with
the plastic No. 22, at speeds higher than 200 km/hr, is subject to fold-over which de-
creases the friction coefficient of a brake pair.
Numerous inertia-stand tests on chamber brakes equipped with shoes made of the
plastic No. 22 show: If the specific power absorbed by the brake does not exceed
1L0 kg/cm2.sec, then no fold-over occurs; however, as soon as the value of the specif-
ic power exceeds 40 kg/cm2 . sec, then fold-over appears. The more intensive the
fold-over, the more specific power is absorbed by the brake. These data refer only
to a pair of plastic No. 22 plus cast iron ChNNKh, a chamber brake.
Figure 62 shows the change in the mean and maximum friction coefficients of the
plastics No. 22 and 6FS on cast iron ChNMKh, as a function of the sliding speed.

i.e., the cast iron ChNMKh.
When evaluating the wear resistance of a given plastic, it is necessary to con-
sider not only its own wear resistance but also the extent of wear of the brake drum
or disk. The plastic No. 22, when operating in a chamber brake, although showing
.less wear than in a disk brake, results in a considerable wear of the brake drum.

To find the effect of the sliding speed on the wear of brake linings, brake
tests were made at a speed of vokr = 3 00 m/sec with a chamber brake. These tests
showed that at an increase in sliding speed, the wear of the linings increases. How-
ever, despite the fact that the sliding speed was raised rather sharply (from 21.1
to 39.6 m/sec), the wear of the lining increased only slightly.
To obtain a comparative rating of the wear resistance of tested plastics under-
calculated conditions, their relative wear should be compared.
Table 3 shows that the plastic 6FP has the lowest relative wear in a unidisk
brake. In a chamber brake, the plastic III has the lowest relative wear.
Tests made with the plastics No. 22, 6FP, and 6FS at an increased speed showed
that the plastics 6FP and 6FS have the lowest relative wear at a sliding speed of
vsk = 39.6 m/sec.
The effect of the value of the kinetic energy on the wear of brake linings was
studied in chamber brakes of wheels 1260 X 39CB and 660 x 16CB. Braking was perform-
ed at a speed of vokr = 160 - 200 km/hr. The pressure in the brake was such that the
