The tribological properties of natural fiber reinforced brake friction composites have been evaluated on a chase friction testing machine following SAE J 661a regulations. The test results were taken as attributes in the optimal design of brake friction composites. The weight importance of the selected attributes has been determined by the AHP (Analytic hierarchy process). The ranking of the friction composites has been carried out by the MOORA (multi-objective optimization on the basis of ratio analysis) method. The results show that the 10 wt.% natural fiber reinforced brake friction composites exhibits best tribological properties. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
