The term "contact aging" refers to the temporal evolution of the interface between a slider and a substrate usually resulting in increasing friction with time. Current phenomenological models for multiasperity contacts anticipate that such aging is not only the driving force behind the transition from static to sliding friction, but at the same time influences the general dynamics of the slidin...

The surface conditions of ground coatings, which are widely used in working environments exposed to various pollutants, were evaluated from a safety perspective. In this work, static and dynamic friction coefficients safe angle inclination between some floor coverings different pollutants for reasons shoe sole materials that determined. interaction soil, floor, contaminations statistically. par...

It has been widely recognized that there are influences of static friction characteristics in a bolted joint on pre-tightening and service reliability. This study proposed coefficient model surfaces based the modified three-dimensional fractal model. A method measuring was investigated to verify accuracy The results showed calculated value measured experiment highly matched. Furthermore, influe...

The correlations between pavement texture and tire pressure with the actual tire-road contact area were first investigated according to static characteristics; on this basis, influence mechanisms of speed friction coefficient systematically explored from angle coupling system dynamics via self-developed dynamic testing tire-pavement friction. By integrating above factors, BP neural network meth...

Friction coefficients are measured in ultrahigh vacuum using a tungsten carbide tribopin against thin films of sodium chloride and potassium iodide deposited onto clean iron. It is found, in accordance with previous measurements for potassium chloride on iron, that the friction coefficient falls from an initial value of 2 for the clean iron surface to a minimum value after a few tens of Ångstro...

a knowledge of physical properties of sunflower seed is essential for the design and development of such processing equipment as handling, separating, dehulling and storing. in this research, physical properties of sunflower seed, (azargol variety as a case of study, was investigated at various moisture contents (3-14% d.b) and in three categories of big, average and small sizes samples. the re...
