Abstract: The developers of innovative automotive active systems have recently stimulated new interest toward the analysis of the frictional behaviour of brake and clutch facings. This paper presents the experimental results acquired with a laboratory setup on brake and clutch facing samples in sliding motion for different operating conditions. An artificial neural network has been used to obtain a comprehensive view of the influence of the main sliding parameters. The study has also taken into account the not weak influence of the sliding acceleration to improve the friction coefficient prediction during transient operations of these dry friction based devices.

Abstract: Lubricating greases are widely used in several heavily loaded tribopairs such as rolling element bearings, gears, chains, etc. Each application represents its own unique load/speed/temperature operating condition that the grease needs to be designed to. Since the non-conforming surfaces are elastically deformed and the pressure involved sufficiently high to give significant effects on viscosity the prevailing lubrication mechanism in grease lubricated pairs is elastohydrodynamic (EHL). However, under more severe loading case and low speeds in transient operation a boundary lubrication component may appear, i.e. when metal surfaces actually come into direct contact with no fluid layer between. The additive formulations of greases integrate a substantial degree of components that reduce wear in boundary conditions. Different types and combinations of thickeners and base oils, along with supplemental structure modifiers and performance additives, combine to give the end user product its special lubricating properties [1, 2]. In this paper the performances of nano-formulated grease through inorganic based additives were tested. In particular, one-pot syntheses was used to obtain free-floating nanosheets of tungsten and/or molybdenum disulphide functionalized by long chain amines in the form of fluid suspension or solid paste. The nanosheets obtained are constituted by one or few layers of crystalline metal chalcogenides completely covered by an organic coating. With respect to similar inorganic materials, the presence of coating stabilizes the suspension, avoids aggregation and oxidation phenomena [3]. The nano-materials, successfully tested in base lubricating oils [4], were dispersed in the lubricating greases and compared by rheological and tribological tests to the conventional lubricating greases.

Abstract: The increasing interest toward the research in the field of the frictional behaviour of automotive brake and clutch materials has been stimulated by developers of automotive innovative active systems as brake-by-wire technology, hybridised frictional brake devices, novel automatic transmissions. This paper presents the experimental results carried out through a tribometer setup using pin-on-disk sliding contact along a series of experiments for simulating different operating conditions of brake and clutch facings. Moreover, in this research artificial neural network has been involved to overcome some test rig limits. The experimental and numerical analyses show the influence of sliding speed, sliding acceleration and contact pressure on facing material behaviour during transients.
