A gait experiment was conducted under two shoe sole and three floor conditions. The shoe soles and floors were characterized by the tread and groove designs on the surface. The coefficients of friction (COF) on the floor in the target area were measured. The subjects were required to walk on a walkway and stepping on a target area covered with glycerol. The motions of the feet of the subjects w...

The most important task of the tire is to ensure driving safety by optimally transmitting required longitudinal and lateral forces. Although great progress has been made in past development new materials patterns, many questions remain unanswered field elastomer friction on rough surfaces. This particularly true when an additional intermediate medium introduced into contact, as for braking wet ...

The effect of the SBR/BR blend ratio on marching modulus – no-plateau torque profile in vulcametry a silica filled tire tread compound is investigated. This tedious recurring problem, as it precludes establishment optimal vulcanization conditions. It was expected that elastomer characteristics, SBR and BR this study, their physical affinity towards will influence degree dispersion flocculation,...

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),...
