We suggest an analytical model to determine the contact 
temperature and wear of the working surface of the elements of friction 
brakes. It is assumed that one of the elements of the friction pair 
represents a two-period system of conjugated dissimilar layers and 
the other represents a homogeneous half-space. In the process of friction 
the wear factor depends linearly on contact temperature. We have studied 
the influence of the effective parameters of the composite and also 
of the parameter that characterizes the change in loading from zero 
to the nominal value and on the distribution of the contact temperature 
and wear in braking.
