How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Abstract When a component was built from a functionally graded material (FGM), the temperature of contact was determined using an analytical model (FGM). The analytical solution is applied using the concept of equivalent properties. In order to fully examine the dynamic of the equivalent property principle, a numerical analysis was done. The FGM (silicon carbide and aluminum) friction liner was used. It focuses on a few characteristics that have an impact, such as load, velocity, friction material type, and slip time, which appear in dimensionless form. The results show that for loads and velocities, the ratio of the rate of dissipation to the rate of generation of heat transfer is one, whereas the behavior differs for friction material and slip time. Furthermore, this study’s chosen FGM exhibits superior thermal behavior compared to Al and Sic, bolstering its viability as a friction liner in the clutch system.
