These flat pads comprised of
frictional material make contact with the rotor, bringing your vehicle to a stop.

Rotary shear experiments reveal the
frictional properties of clay - rich
material recovered directly from the fault zone.
Using these same fault - zone
materials, Ujiie et al. (p. 1211) performed high - velocity
frictional experiments to determine the physical controls on the large slip that occurred during the earthquake.
Through gravitational lensing, astronomers suggest the mysterious
material uses
frictional force.
The concept of «jamming by shear» was introduced to explain how
frictional fluid
materials transition from a flowing to rigid state.
They have discovered that
frictional force is affected by the composition of the
materials beneath the surface.
Following a
frictional failure in the labquake, the shearing block moves or displaces, while the gouge
material simultaneously dilates and strengthens, as shown by measurably increasing shear stress and friction.
The range of measures here is quite great; for example, engine efficiency can be improved by three different kinds of measures, increasing thermodynamic efficiency, reducing
frictional losses and reducing pumping losses (these losses are the energy needed to pump air and fuel into the cylinders and push out the exhaust) and each kind of measure can be addressed by a great number of design,
material and technology changes.
