A new contribution to friction is predicted to occur in systems with magnetic correlations: Tangential relative motion of two Ising spin systems pumps energy into the magnetic degrees of freedom. This leads to a friction force proportional to the area of contact. The velocity and temperature dependence of this force are investigated. Magnetic friction is strongest near the critical temperature,...

Granular packings of hard disks are investigated by means of contact dynamics which is an appropriate technique to explore the allowed force realizations in the space of contact forces. Configurations are generated for given friction coefficients, and then an ensemble of equilibrium forces is found for fixed contacts. We study the force fluctuations within this ensemble. In the limit of zero fr...

in this paper, finite element model of woven fabric target has been investigated which is impacted by a cylindrical projectile. fabrics are impregnated with shear thickening fluid (stf). the effects of the (stf) have been considered as frictional effect. the stf has been made (nano silica and polyethylene glycol (peg)) and then diluted by ethanol proportion of 3:1. yarn pulling out test from in...

background: prevention of slipping accidents requires provision of adequate friction through the use of suitable combinations of footwear and underfoot surfaces. shoe sole tread groove is one of the important factors on friction coefficient during walking. objective: to measure the effect of different shoe sole tread groove depths and different surfaces on the required quotient of friction (q),...

We study the friction between a flat solid surface where polymer chains have been end-grafted and a cross-linked elastomer at low sliding velocity. The contribution of isolated grafted chains’ penetration in the sliding elastomer has been early identified as a weakly velocity dependent pull-out force. Recent experiments have shown that the interactions between the grafted chains at high graftin...

A new insight into the mechanics of belt friction is given. A conceptual and methodological drawback in the presentation of the classical derivation of the force required to pull the belt over a fixed drum against the hold-force and the friction between the belt and a drum is pointed out, corrected and discussed. The total forces due to pressure and friction (P and F ) are evaluated in magnitud...

The sliding of a sharp nanotip on graphene completely immersed in water is investigated by molecular dynamics (MD) and atomic force microscopy. MD simulations predict that the atomic-scale stick-slip is almost identical to that found in ultrahigh vacuum. Furthermore, they show that water plays a purely stochastic role in sliding (solid-to-solid) friction. These observations are substantiated by...

In this paper, the stress wave propagation in a coupled pendulum system with friction force is discussed experimentally and numerically. The coupled system is analogous to the one dimensional fault dynamics model in seismicity. However, we will not intend to discuss about the geophysical feature of the system. The system has rich characteristics of the spatiotemporal stress wave propagation eff...

The hysteretic nonlinear dependence of pre-sliding friction force on displacement is modeled using different physics-based and black-box approaches including various Maxwell-slip models, NARX models, neural networks, nonparametric (local) models and dynamical networks. The efficiency and accuracy of these identification methods is compared for an experimental time series where the observed fric...

OBJECTIVE The objective of this study is to examine ground kinetics early in stance while walking on a contaminated surface and assess the potential of kinetics to quantify risk of slipping. BACKGROUND Prior studies of slipping have dismissed early ground kinetic data,and therefore no prior literature has been able to assess the viability of using these data to quantify slip potential. METH...
