   Abstract:
   Experimental investigation of dependence on temperature of dynamic coefficient of friction of commercially available materials transmitting friction force in clutches and brakes is described; it was found that coefficient of friction starts decreasing at some elevated temperature and then, at some still higher temperature, assumes lower stable value; study shows that temperature causes breakdown of deposited intersurface film; breakdown is cause of decrease or fade in coefficient of friction; recovery time is shorter for higher loads and speeds.
