Dry friction clutch is an essential mechanical assembly which is widely used in the automotive application. Clutches are used to control the torque flow between internal combustion engine and transmission. This is achieved by separating and coupling the clutch which represent a detachable link between crankshaft and transmission input shaft. Frictional heat is generated when the clutch starts to engage. As a result of this operation the contact surfaces temperature is increased rapidly due to the difference in speed between the driving and driven parts of the clutch. Due to the increasing energy demands (torque and temperature) over the clutch systems, it has become necessary to gain more control over their tribological characteristics (friction coefficient and wear rate) to improve the development of more efficient clutches. In this Thesis characterization of influence of temperature on the dynamics of wear of an automotive dry friction material is conducted. Through the theoretical chapters, a general overview of automotive dry clutches and associated friction materials is given. Types of wear mechanisms that occur during the operation of a dry friction clutch as well as the temperature influence on friction and wear of friction material are also explained. The experiments were performed on a CNC disc-on-disc tribometer that allows precise control of operating parameters such as normal force, slip speed, and temperature. Two sets of experiments were performed: in one the operating temperature was changed within the expected range of clutch operating temperatures (to 240°C), while in the other, the operating temperature was gradually increased until the effect of the temperature fatigue of the material known as fading occurred. At the end, the results of conducted experiments and their interpretation conclude the thesis.
