This paper aims at experimental and numerical investigation of springback behavior of sheet metals during Lbending process with emphasis on Stribeck-type friction modeling. The coefficient of friction in Stribeck curve depends on sliding velocity and contact pressure. The springback behavior of mild steel and aluminum alloy 6022-T4 sheets was studied experimentally and using numerical simulatio...

several relationships to assess at-rest pressure coefficient in retaining walls, have been developed by different researchers. these suggested relationships are generally a function of mechanical soil parameters such as internal friction angel, poison ratio and over-consolidation ratio. in integral bridges, however, this coefficient is also a function of many other parameters other than soil ch...

We studied spontaneous formation of an internal meniscus by dipping glass capillaries of 25 μm to 350 μm radii into low volatile hexadecane and tributyl phosphate. X-ray phase contrast and high speed optical microscopy imaging were employed. We showed that the meniscus completes its formation when the liquid column is still shorter than the capillary radius. After that, the meniscus travels abo...

This paper addresses the mechanical behavior of buried steel pipeline crossing subsidence strata. The investigation is based on numerical simulation of the nonlinear response of the pipeline-soil system through finite element method, considering large strain and displacement, inelastic material behavior of buried pipeline and the surrounding soil, as well as contact and friction on the pipeline...

a n understanding of some of the key principles of fluid mechanics is necessary for full appreciation and wise prescription from the armamentarium of hydraulic and pneumatic s systems which are increasingly becoming available in prosthetics. A review of the differences between mechanical friction and fluid friction will help to define the underlying principles of these fluid-controlled mechanis...

in this research, an apparatus was made and utilized to determine the friction coeffi-cient of chickpea grains on steel surfaces. experiments were carried out on two black and galvanized surfaces and at four sliding velocities of 5, 20, 100 and 500 mm/min, at three moisture content of 7.5%, 15% and 21% wet basis (w.b.) and at three vertical pressure values of 14.28, 100 and 150 kpa. the followi...

frictional shear stress is usually determined by utilizing the coefficient of friction or the constant friction factor models. the present study deals with finite element analysis of double cup extrusion process to determine the relationship between constant friction factor (m) and coefficient of friction (µ), since the metal flow in this process is very sensitive to frictional conditions. ther...

In this paper, by applying analytical method and using experimental method data, the effect of sliding velocity on friction coefficient for contact of copper with copper is investigated. Some equations for obtaining friction coefficient as a function of sliding velocity for contact of copper with copper by applying second analytical method and using experimental method data are achieved. The re...

An adaptive control scheme for emergency braking of vehicles is designed based on a LuGre dynamic model for the tire-road friction. The wheel angular speed and longitudinal vehicle acceleration information are used to design a fast convergence observer to estimate the vehicle velocity and the internal state of the friction model. The unknown parameters of the dynamic friction model are estimate...
