A model that predicts the static friction for elastic-plastic contact of rough surfaces is presented. The model incorporates the results of accurate finite element analyses for the elastic-plastic contact, adhesion and sliding inception of a single asperity in a statistical representation of surface roughness. The model shows strong effect of the external force and nominal contact area on the s...

In order to estimate different road adhesion coefficients, a new method based on the second-order linear extended state observer is proposed improve active safety and driving stability of vehicles. The vehicle single-wheel dynamics model braking are built with analyzing processes vehicle. controllers ASR ABS designed by using sliding mode structure control, chattering phenomenon control elimina...

Accurate estimation of the road adhesion coefficient can help drivers and vehicles perceive changes in state effectively, reducing occurrence traffic crashes accordingly. Therefore, this paper proposes a method based on vehicle-road coordination deep learning. Firstly, vehicle-based data feedback system combined with network cloud is introduced, CarSim simulation used to expand set train model ...

introduction: undescended testis is a common problem in children. cryptorchid testis is frequently accompanied by gross morphologic changes with regard to the size and shape of the testis, various degree of detachment between the epididymis and testis. we assessed the epididymal anomalies and patency of process vaginalis in boys with udt.   material &method;: it is a prospective study which was...

Chemical force microscopy (CFM) was used to probe interactions between ionizable and neutral functional groups in aqueous solutions. Force microscope probe tips and sample substrates have been covalently modified with self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) terminating in distinct functional groups. SAMs were prepared by treating Au-coated or uncoated tips and substrates with functionalized thiols or ...

Silver-PTFE metal matrix composite coatings were deposited onto ANSI 304 stainless steel to assess the potential of using a novel non-cyanide electroplating process to produce a corrosion resistant, self-lubricating composite coating. During this study, 32 different bath parameter sets, derived from 5 variables were used to develop the non-cyanide electroplating process without the use of a sur...

The present study deals with the modification of the human skin biotribological behaviour after tape stripping. The tape-stripping procedure consists in the sequential application and removal of adhesive tapes on the skin surface in order to remove stratum corneum (SC) layers, which electrically charges the skin surface. The skin electric charges generated by tape stripping highly change the sk...

The coefficient of variation is a dispersion measurement that does not depend on the unit scales, thus allowing the comparison of experimental results involving different variables. Its calculation is crucial for the adhesive experiments performed in laboratories because both precision and reliability can be verified. The aim of this study was to evaluate and to suggest a classification of the ...
