...Jie Fei; He-Jun Li; Le-Hua Qi; Ye-Wei Fu; Xin-Tao Li Carbon-fiber-reinforced paper-based friction material (CFRPF), as a new type of wet friction material for automatic transmission, was prepared by a paper-making process. The frictional response of CFRPF is highly complex under a set...

... investigators. However, the present paper shows that the scatter can also arise from the way wear is quantified by popular methods such as by m 3 /m, m 3 /Nm and so on. Therefore, an improved method of wear quantification indicated as “wear index” (WI) a non-dimensional quantity, has been proposed...
