A sliding vibration isolation system, affected by a kinetic friction force, provides a flexible or energy dissipation system for a structure. The kinetic friction coefficient of the contact surfaces between the moving parts changes with the relative moving velocity of the two contact surfaces. In this study, a smart measuring device is proposed to measure the kinetic friction coefficients of materials. The Arduino boards Arduino Nano, Arduino MPU-9250, and Arduino SD modules were combined to create this proposed smart device and mounted on three aluminum extrusions constructed as a horizontal platform. Then, varying amounts of steel gaskets were applied to adjust the various slopes for sliding tests. The time history of the acceleration and displacement responses of test object movements in the sliding process were respectively, recorded and detected by this proposed smart measuring device and the digital image correlation method (DIC). Statistical analyses of all test responses were used to derive the relationship of velocity to kinetic friction coefficient. Test and analysis results showed that (1) the relationship of velocity to kinetic friction coefficient for the conditions of mild lubrication and no lubrication displayed a trend of first decreasing and then increasing with increasing speed, respectively and (2) the relationship of velocity to kinetic friction coefficient for the condition of full lubrication revealed that the kinetic friction coefficient decreased with increasing speed. Test results demonstrated that this proposed smart measurement device, which is low in price and easy to assemble, can easily measure the kinetic friction coefficient of a material under various lubrication conditions.

The relationship of the friction coefficient and the MTC were discussed, and the MTC and its effects on surface roughness were a theoretical analysised and experimental verification by AFM (atomic force microscope). The results show that the theoretical MTC tends to be minimal value then before the adhering effect to reach remarkable. Appropriate adjustments cutting parameters, the cutting process can always micro-cutting phase to reach the steady-thin chip, and no plowing phenomenon. So the surface residues highly were reduced and higher surface quality was achieved.

This research deals with the possibility for construction of the database on the braking friction coefficient for actual roads from the viewpoint of traffic safety especially for automated driving such as level 4 or higher. In an automated driving such levels, the controller needs to control the vehicle, but the road surface condition, especially the road friction coefficient on wet roads, snowy or icy roads, changes greatly, and in some cases, changes by almost one order. Therefore, it is necessary for the controller to constantly collect environment information such as the road friction coefficients and prepare for emergencies such as obstacle avoidance. However, at present, the measurement of the road friction coefficients is not systemically performed, and a method for accurately measuring has not been established. In order to improve this situation, this study examines a method for continuously measurement for the road friction characteristics such as μ-s characteristics.

Open-graded friction course (OGFC) is a low impact development practice that provides a better pavement drainage solution and safer driving conditions. However, there exists a gap in understanding how internal pores in OGFC mix affect hydraulic conductivity, particularly when OGFC suffers the most rutting damage under the effects of high temperature and heavy traffic loading. There is also a lack of research on determining the optimal maintenance timing for an OGFC pavement. This study aims at characterizing the relationship of volumetric and permeability properties for OGFC slab specimens and quantifying permeability deterioration over time using a developed precipitation simulator and permeability measuring device and rutting test. Seven test temperatures (40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65, and 70°C) were considered in the rutting test. The effect of clogging material size on permeability was also evaluated. The test results suggested that interconnected air void was lower than total air void, and higher rutting temperature resulted in reduced interconnected air void. The clogging experiment suggested that 0.3–0.6 mm material caused the most clogging while 0.075–0.15 mm material caused the least clogging. Based on this study, it is recommended to use a field measured rut depth as an alternative permeability indicator for determining optimal maintenance timing for an OGFC pavement using the correlation established between permeability and rut depth. A case study of OGFC pavement demonstrated that when the field measured rut depth reached 4.5 mm or higher, timely maintenance is needed.

Colorimeter is a color measuring device that is a tool that can distinguish colors based on the value of the output produced. In this study a colorimeter device was made using the OPT101 sensor, an analog sensor based light detector. OPT101 sensor has characteristics if the intensity of light received is getting brighter, the greater the sensor output value and vice versa. Because of the characteristics of the sensor like that, this sensor can be used as a measuring instrument to determine the concentration of a food coloring agent. This study aims to look at investigating the relationship between the concentration value of a dye solution to the OPT101 sensor response value contained in the colorimeter tool. The dyes used are red (metile red) and blue (brilliant blue) with 10 different variations of concentration, with a range of 0.01% -0.1%. After the measurement experiments were carried out on the sample, the results obtained were almost the same as the theory, namely the relationship between the concentration value was inversely proportional to the value of the sensor output. The inverse relationship means that the more concentrated a dye solution is, the more the light intensity penetrates the substance or dims. So that the OPT101 sensor detects a dimmer light source, the sensor output value gets smaller, because the relationship of the sensor output value is directly proportional to the intensity of the received light. Based on the measurements that have been made, the results of sensor response values are obtained for the red sample with a range of data from 276,698 decreasing to 240,762, while for the blue sample from the range 9,828 it decreases to 8.75. The value for the blue sample is much smaller because the blue sample is much thicker than the red sample.

This study provides experimentally validated formulation of underhead bearing friction torque component during tightening of threaded fasteners with non-flat contact with the joint. Motosh model is utilized for spherical and conical contact surfaces for various scenarios of contact pressure. For each pressure scenario, a single non-dimensional 3-D graph is generated for the corresponding values of an effective bearing friction radius. A rotating sliding speed-dependent friction coefficient model is also investigated for its impact of the results of bearing friction radius. Torque-Tension testing is used to measure the bearing friction torque and the corresponding bearing friction coefficients using Motosh model, in which the newly formulated bearing friction radius expressions are entered. Obtained bearing friction coefficient values are then compared with those published by the threaded fastener manufacturer.

Friction is important in tree care operations; climbers encounter friction when ascending into, working in, and descending out of a tree. Twelve commonly used climbing ropes were tested on cambium saver rings made of three different materials to determine rope on ring static and kinetic friction coefficients. All ropes were tested before any field use. In addition, two ropes were tested after they had been used in the field for 2 years and were evaluated to determine the effect of rope wear on friction. Friction coefficients varied among ropes and ring materials, and surface roughness of ring material was the best predictor of friction coefficient. Used ropes exhibited higher friction coefficients than new ropes and, in most cases, superseded the influence of surface roughness of cambium saver rings. Simple physical models were developed to illustrate how friction coefficients can affect different aspects of tree climbing. There are important implications of these results for further studies on rope friction as it relates to reducing climber fatigue.

Abstract This paper presents a test device to explore the influence of geometric attribute of the contact surface on friction coefficient along with sliding speed and contact pressure. Friction tests were conducted on a third-generation high strength steel QP980. The friction coefficients for different surface curvatures, contact pressures and sliding speeds were calculated and the influences of these factors were analyzed. The formula for calculating the friction coefficients between curved contact surfaces was derived. The relationship between bending induced surface roughness increase and friction coefficient was established. An enhanced friction coefficient model with pressure, velocity and curvature dependence was proposed. The enhanced friction model was applied to simulate the stamping of an automotive part and a better correlation was achieved.

Many researches are conducted on the effect of particles on lubricated friction and wear of contact surfaces, which shows that particles between two contact surfaces increase lubricated friction and do a great effect to the wear of two sliding surfaces. Similar phenomena also occur when a hard containment particle is being entrained into the lubricated contact. This paper presents a simple two dimensional model which describes the entrainment of particles in a gap. Considering elasticity of the sliding surfaces, the model treats conditions under which a spherical particle of size d can be entrained into a gap between a sliding surface and a fixed plane surface. These conditions are determined by size of the particles, d, and friction coefficients between the particle and the sliding surface, and the particle and the plane, denoted by μs and μp respectively. For the particles to be entrained into the contact, this model predicts the maximum of particles size and the relationship of μs and μp.

Friction and wear of materials with additional deformation or stress is not a broadly described case. However, scientific publications considering this issue point out that additional deformation and stress ought to be taken into account during wear and friction analysis. In this article, the influence of strain in thermoplastics (POM, PTFE, PE-HD, PMMA) over the friction coefficient is described. Materials were deformed under tensile stress and examined after 24 hours. For specimens in which plastic strain was maintained, the decline of hardness (PE-HD: approximately 70% decrease, PTFE: approximately 40% decrease) and the reduction of the coefficient of kinetic friction (both PTFE and PE-HD: about 20% decrease) were observed. POM returned to its pre-deformed shape and PMMA was deformed without reaching its elastic limit. In these cases, only small changes in hardness (POM: approximately 10% decrease, PMMA: approximately 6% increase) and friction coefficients (maximum 4% change) occurred.
