ABSTRACT
The project is on the tDevelopment of Automobile Br&e
Linings using materials and methods. Five dis= brake linings
of the geometrical specification of Peugeot 504 series were
produced using the available equipment at the Mechanical
Engineering Department of the University of Nigeria, Nsuklira,
The friction pads were made of varying proportions of palm
kernel shell as the base friction material, rubber latex, rubber
dust, sulphur, clay, brass chips and Epoxy Resins.
Laboratory tests were carried out to estimate the s t a t i c
and dynamic coefficients of f r i d i o n , the variation of friction
coefficient with pressure, the moisture sensitivity, and the
hardness. The results showed average st-tic coef f icient5 of
0.497, 0.435, 0.444, 0.426 and 0,411 for specimens 1, 2, 4(a),
4(b), and for a commercial lining respectively. The average
t starting' dynamic coefficients 0,456, 0.313, 0.377, 0.388 and
*
0.360 for specimens 1, 2, 4(a), 4(b) and the Ferodo pad resptively.
The variation of friction coefficients wFth pressure
was more noticeable for specimens 1, 2, and 4(a) while specimens
4(b) and the Ferodo lining showed a fairly constant coefficknt
with increase in presswe. The friction coefficient variations
between w e t and dry conditions were 0.3 to 0.6, 0-3 t o 0.5, 0.3 t o
0.5, 0.3 to 0.44 and 0.32 to 0.42 for specimens 1, 2, 4(a), 4(b),
