To make clear the friction characteristic and service ability of carbon fabric reinforced phenolic-based wet friction materials applied to wet clutch and then provide evidence for the design of carbon fabric wet clutch, the comprehensive evaluation system was developed by fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method and the influences of operating conditionson tribology properties were investigated. Based on the characteristics of porosity and compressibility/ recovery, the friction torque model and temperature field model were developed. Finally, the essence of wet engagement was illustrated, which can lay a solid theoretical foundation for the application of carbon fabric friction materials.
