In the past few decades, friction material engineering has become more sophisticated with many tests and techniques to investigate the properties of the materia

Frequent advances have been made in the technology of brakes and friction materials in response to the ever-increasing performance and speed of the vehicle. Thi

This book examines material composites used in connection with brake friction, their design and safety. To aid in understanding, the essentials of friction are

TRIBOLOGY – the study of friction, wear and lubrication – impacts almost every aspect of our daily lives. The Springer Encyclopedia of Tribology is an autho

Starting from the fundamentals of brakes and braking, Braking of Road Vehicles covers car and commercial vehicle applications and developments from both a theor
