An investigation into frictional surface interactions and their effect on brake judder.
… the friction interface of an automotive friction brake during off-brake motoring has been studied using Energy Dispersive X-ray (E.D.X.) analysis and Scanning Electron Microscopy (S.E.M.). Although these third-body layers are deposited on both mating surfaces of the friction couple, special …

Mass, Composition, Source Identification and Impact Assessment for Fine and Coarse Atmospheric Particles in the Desert Southwest
… impacts from direct emissions including brake wear and indirect emissions including resuspended road dust. A significant fraction is also associated with crustal sources while about 5 g/m3 appears to be transported into the region from beyond the air shed. Detailed analysis of the local …

Magnetism of anthropogenic airborne particulate matter
… combine aspects of both exhaust residue and brake-pad end-members, suggesting that FORC fingerprints have the potential to identify and quantify the relative contributions from exhaust and non-exhaust (brake-wear) emissions. This thesis then examines into the indoor micro-environment of the …

DESIGN AND OPTIMIZATION OF LOW-Cu AND Cu-FREE AUTOMOTIVE BRAKE FRICTION MATERIALS
… the knowledge for formulating low-Cu and Cu-free brake friction materials without using and releasing hazardous materials that are listed on Washington State and California State Senate Bills. Model brake material samples were manufactured and tested in the Friction Assessment and Screening Test …

Modeling and simulation of vehicle emissions for the reduction of road traffic pollution
… have an exhaust (tailpipe) and a non-exhaust (brake wears ) origin. Both exhaust and non-exhaust airborne particles can have destructive effects on the human cardiovascular and respiratory systems and even lead to premature deaths. This dissertation aims to estimate the amount of exhaust and …
