Abstract

AbstractThis paper introduces an experimental device, developed at the Laboratoire de Mécanique de Lille, specially designed for application in braking tests. The purpose of this device is to monitor the course of events on the rubbing surfaces during simulated braked stops and, in particular, the life and the dynamics of the third body. The usefulness of the device is demonstrated by the results of braking experiments performed on a grey cast iron disc for two different energies. These first experimental results show that the technique provides efficient and exploitable observations of tribological phenomena occurring on the wear‐track scale as well as on the microscopic scale.
