Abstract
Processes taking place at local contacts in an automotive brake system are analyzed on the basis of computer simulation with the method of movable cellular automata. The conditions of a mechanically mixed layer (MML) formation on the tribosurfaces and the influence of the layer on the friction coefficient are investigated. The results show that the MML formation leads to the stabilization of the coefficient of friction at a convenient range (0.3–0.4) for brake application. The presence of graphite particles in the MML decreases the critical value of local normal stress for switching from stick-slip to smooth relative motion with MML formation.
