Summary. Brake lines are tested for strength and durability. However, tests of strength are short-term, but tests of durability are durable, since their aim is to assess the effectiveness of the brake linings during operation. Therefore, reduction of time evaluating the durability of brake linings exploitation is urgent. The article describes the results of the research on the longevity of the brake linings of different types of vehicles based on their controllable operation and the method of accelerated estimation of the longevity of brake linings based on the operation of their analogues. ИССЛЕДОВАНИЕ ДОЛГОВЕЧНОСТИ ТОРМОЗНЫХ НАКЛАДОК В ЭКСПЛУАТАЦИИАннотация. Тормозные накладки проверяют на прочность и долговечность. Но, испытания на прочность -кратковременны, а на долговечность -длительны, так как их цель заключается в оценке эффективности работы тормозных накладок в процессе эксплуатации. Поэтому сокращение времени оценки долговечности тормозных накладок в эксплуатации является актуальным. В работе приведены результаты исследований долговечности тормозных накладок различных автотранспортных средств по результатам подконтрольной эксплуатации и метод ускоренной оценки долговечности тормозных накладок по результатам эксплуатации аналога.
