In this paper, we provide not only key knowledge for friction model selection among candidate models but also experimental friction features compared with numerical predictions reproduced by the candidate models. A motor-driven one-dimensional sliding block has been designed and fabricated in our lab to carry out a wide range of control tasks for the friction feature demonstrations and the parameter identifications of the candidate models. Besides the well-known static features such as break-away force and viscous friction, our setup experimentally demonstrates subtle dynamic features that characterize the physical behavior. The candidate models coupled with correct parameters experimentally obtained from our setup are taken to simulate the features of interest. The first part of this work briefly introduces the candidate friction models, the friction features of interest, and our experimental approach. The second part of this work is dedicated to the comparisons between the experimental features and the numerical model predictions. The discrepancies between the experimental features and the numerical model predictions help researchers to judge the accuracy of the models. The relation between the candidate model structures and their numerical friction feature predictions is investigated and discussed. A table that summarizes how to select the most optimal friction model among a variety of engineering applications is presented at the end of this paper. Such comprehensive comparisons have not been reported in previous literature.

The present paper is dedicated to numerical and experimental study of the hydrodynamic of a non-reactive isothermal pressurized fluidized bed. Experimental data have been obtained using PEPT technique allowing to track a particle trajectory inside a dense fluidized bed. A specific post-processing approach has been developed to compute the Eulerian time-averaged particle velocity field. The comparison with 3-dimensional numerical model predictions shows a good agreement in the core of the fluidized bed. In contrast, in the near wall region the numerical model overestimate the downward particle velocity. The modification of particle phase wall boundary condition improves the numerical predictions.

Model Predictions

A probe which is capable of applying known, controlled pressures to the skin, and measuring the subsequent tissue deflections and skin surface temperatures has been designed and tested. This paper describes the design of the probe, with emphasis on the thermal aspects. The fin effect of the probe superstructure is compensated for by providing an appropriately sized reflective area on that portion of the probe which contacts the skin. Experimental calibration results and numerical model predictions are presented.
