Aircraft brake condition monitoring : a novel approach in determining the remaining life of carbon-carbon composite heat-packs in-service

Modem aircraft use Carbon-Carbon Composite (CCC) materials for the heat-pack elements of the brake (Tarter, 1991). The elevated wear-rate mechanism of CCC brakes at low operating temperatures (<100°C) is well understood (Abbott, 1995). Oxidation of these friction materials increases between tempe...
