title = "Application of Matlab for the planar displacement analysis of palm kernel shell reinforced brake lining",
abstract = "Because the composition of brake pads is heterogeneous, this results in a surface with multiple asperities. These asperities are at the origin of various contacts plateaus observed at the surface during braking. Non asbestos organic brake lining were developed using various particle sizes (0.300, 0.425 and 0.600 mm) of palm kernel shell powder as reinforcement. Physical properties of the developed product were determined in order to be used in a partial differential equation suitable to be processed in Matlab in order analyse the planar deformation behaviour of the linings. Lowlands were observed in all the samples but their depth varied with applied load. S0.300 and S0.425 displayed relatively similar displacement value of 1.5 × 10-17 m while the displacement value for S0.600 was 2 × 10-17 m. Displacement behaviour of the samples was attributed to their physical properties and their relative benefits and disadvantages established.",
