Report on development of test rig for evaluation of friction materials, which would be capable of accurately defining friction/ temperature/speed/load characteristics of material under test; test rig simulates vehicle braking system on exact scale basis with sufficient accuracy to be comparable with vehicle assessment itself, and provides high level of test repeatability; friction materials intended for drum brakes, tractor plate brakes, and railway brakes, can be successfully evaluated; control equipment has been extended to enable rig to be "driven" as vehicle, to simulate brake usage under general road running conditions.
