“…On the other hand, its low modulus, low fatigue resistance, self-abrasiveness and its poor interaction with some matrix resins limit this type of fiber for some tribological applications [1,2]. Asbestos fibers have a high tensile strength, but a low stability at high temperatures, and the moisture absorption behavior can sometimes be an obstacle for its utilization in the field of tribology [3,4]. Carbon fiber possessing high strength and high modulus has a significant effect on the friction-wear characteristics [5].…”

A new composite brake material was fabricated with metallic powders, barium sulphate and modified phenolic resin as the matrix and carbon fiber as the reinforced material. The friction, wear and fade characteristics of this composite were determined using a D-MS friction material testing machine. The surface structure of carbon fiber reinforced friction materials was analyzed by scanning electronic microscopy (SEM). Glass fiberreinforced and asbestos fiber-reinforced composites with the same matrix were also fabricated for comparison. The carbon fiber-reinforced friction materials (CFRFM) shows lower wear rate than those of glass fiber-and asbestos fiber-reinforced composites in the temperature range of 100°C-300°C. It is interesting that the frictional coefficient of the carbon fiber-reinforced friction materials increases as frictional temperature increases from 100°C to 300°C, while the frictional coefficients of the other two composites decrease during the increasing temperatures. Based on the SEM observation, the wear mechanism of CFRFM at low temperatures included fiber thinning and pull-out. At high temperature, the phenolic matrix was degraded and more pull-out enhanced fiber was demonstrated. The properties of carbon fiber may be the main reason that the CFRFM possess excellent tribological performances.

“…Some experimenters argue in support of Coulomb friction [12,13] while others favor a modification in which the norm of the friction force is related to the contact pressure by a power-law expression [14]. We adopt a framework encompassing both possibilities.…”

“…The interactions between the projectile and the fabric, the aluminum frame and the fabric, and the wooden frame and the fabric were modeled with the kinematic predictor/corrector (hard) contact algorithm and the Coulomb friction model. Coefficients of friction for steel and aluminum sliding on Kevlar and other para-aramid fabrics have been shown to be in the range m ¼ 0:2020:31 (Martínez et al, 1993;Lim et al, 2003;Tan et al, 2003). The coefficient of friction for all interactions was therefore approximated as m ¼ 0:3.…”

a b s t r a c tWoven fabric is an increasingly important component of many defense and commercial systems, including deployable structures, restraint systems, numerous forms of protective armor, and a variety of structural applications where it serves as the reinforcement phase of composite materials. With the prevalence of these systems and the desire to explore new applications, a comprehensive, computationally efficient model for the deformation of woven fabrics is needed. However, modeling woven fabrics is difficult due, in particular, to the need to simulate the response both at the scale of the entire fabric and at the meso-level, the scale of the yarns that compose the weave. Here, we present finite elements for the simulation of the three-dimensional, high-rate deformation of woven fabric. We employ a continuum-level modeling technique that, through the use of an appropriate unit cell, captures the evolution of the mesostructure of the fabric without explicitly modeling every yarn. Displacement degrees of freedom and degrees of freedom representing the change in crimp amplitude of each yarn family fully determine the deformed geometry of the mesostructure of the fabric, which in turn provides, through the constitutive relations, the internal nodal forces. In order to verify the accuracy of the elements, instrumented ballistic impact experiments with projectile velocities of 22-550 m/s were conducted on single layers of Kevlar s fabric. Simulations of the experiments demonstrate that the finite elements are capable of efficiently simulating large, complex structures.
