The paper presents and experimentally verifies a method for the determination of the kinetic friction coefficient of friction pairs. The method involves a direct acceleration measurement of an object sliding down an inclined plane and the determination of the momentary friction force based on acceleration. The laboratory test rig was presented and the theoretical foundations of the method were discussed in detail. The laboratory experiments were conducted for the following material pairs: steel-cast iron, steel-bronze, and for various inclined plane angles. The experiments results were presented, acceleration vs. time curves were plotted, and friction coefficients were determined. These values were compared to the values known from literature [L. 1–3]. The uncertainly analysis of kinetic friction coefficient determination was conducted. The method effectiveness and accuracy was verified, noting the sources of possible measurement errors and the ways to eliminate them.

The layer texture differences of an object have an influence on the friction force caused by both planes. This research aims to determine the static and kinetic friction coefficient on several solid cylinder materials. The benefits of this research can be used to develop experimental learning activities on friction coefficient. This research used experimental method. The research was carried out by rolling samples at various inclined plane angles and measuring the traveled distance traveled in one rotation (D). The results showed that the static and kinetic friction coefficients between aluminum cylinder and glass were 0.146 and 0.097, iron cylinder and glass were 0.136 and 0.096, glass cylinder and brass were 0.132 and 0.094, nylon cylinder and glass were 0.101 and 0.090, and stainsless cylinder and glass were 0.122 and 0.094, respectively.Perbedaan tekstur lapisan sebuah benda mempunyai pengaruh pada gaya gesek yang ditimbulkan oleh kedua bidang.

In general, this new equation is significant for designing and operating a pipeline to predict flow discharge. In order to predict the flow discharge, accurate determination of the flow loss due to pipe friction is very important. However, existing pipe friction coefficient equations have difficulties in obtaining key variables or those only applicable to pipes with specific conditions. Thus, this study develops a new equation for predicting pipe friction coefficients using statistically based entropy concepts, which are currently being used in various fields. The parameters in the proposed equation can be easily obtained and are easy to estimate. Existing formulas for calculating pipe friction coefficient requires the friction head loss and Reynolds number. Unlike existing formulas, the proposed equation only requires pipe specifications, entropy value and average velocity. The developed equation can predict the friction coefficient by using the well-known entropy, the mean velocity and the pipe specifications. The comparison results with the Nikuradse’s experimental data show that the R2 and RMSE values were 0.998 and 0.000366 in smooth pipe, and 0.979 to 0.994 or 0.000399 to 0.000436 in rough pipe, and the discrepancy ratio analysis results show that the accuracy of both results in smooth and rough pipes is very close to zero. The proposed equation will enable the easier estimation of flow rates.

A two degrees of freedom nonlinear dynamics model of self-excited vibration induced by dry-friction of brake disk and pads is built firstly, the stability of vibration system at the equilibrium points is analyzed using the nonlinear dynamics theory. Finally the numerical method is taken to study the impacts of friction coefficient on brake groan. The calculation result shows that with the increase of kinetic friction coefficient /or the decrease of difference value between static friction coefficient and kinetic friction coefficient can prevent or restrain self-excited vibration from happening.
