In the hot compression test friction has a detrimental influence on the flow stress through the process and therefore, correcting the deformation curve for real behavior is very important for both researchers and engineers. In this study, a series of compression tests were simulated using Abaqus software. In this study, it has been employed the Taguchi method to design experiments by the factor...

A method for ultrasonic measurement of friction material elastic constants was evaluated through a round-robin process. The purpose of the study was two-fold: 1) to formulate and evaluate a standard test method (SAE J2725) for measuring elastic constants using ultrasound and 2) to quantify the measurement variability when the testing method is applied by multiple operators and instrumentation. ...

attempts have been made for the first time to produce a friction material with thermal sensitive modulus by the inclusion of combined plastic/rubber properties of thermoplastic elastomers (tpe) as viscoelastic polymeric materials into the formulation for the purpose of increasing the damping behavior. in order to evaluate the viscoelastic parameters such as loss factor (tan δ) and elastic modul...

Friction characteristics with respect to surface topographic orientation were investigated using surfaces of different materials and fabricated with grooves of different scales. Scratching friction tests were conducted using a nano-indentation-scratching system with the tip motion parallel or perpendicular to the groove orientation. Similar friction anisotropy trends were observed for all the s...

The purpose of brake is to decelerate a vehicle by transforming the kinetic energy of the vehicle to heat via friction and dissipating that heat to the surroundings. As a part of an automobile, brake materials have additional requirements like resistance to corrosion, light weight, long life, low noise, stable friction, low wear rate and acceptable cost versus performance. Selection of the mate...

– A first-principle continuum-mechanics expression for the rolling friction coefficient is obtained for the rolling motion of a viscoelastic sphere on a hard plane. It relates the friction coefficient to the viscous and elastic constants of the sphere material. The relation obtained refers to the case when the deformation of the sphere ξ is small, the velocity of the sphere V is much less than ...

The work material in metal working operations always shows some kind of anisotropy. In order to simplify the theoretical analysis, especially considering bulk deformation processes, anisotropy is usually neglected and the material is assumed to be isotropic. On the other hand, the analysis that considered the influence of anisotropy seldom incorporates the influence of friction. For predicting ...

The main objective of this research was to investigate the effect of material properties, strain-rate sensitivity, and barreling on the behavior of friction calibration curves. The compression tests were conducted to obtain the necessary material properties for the finite element analysis. A series of ring compression tests were then conducted in order to determine the magnitude of the friction...
