The Relationship

The relationship between the coefficient of friction and the slip of a flexible wheel, such as the pneumatic tyre, plays a major role in the design of refined braking systems for vehicles. The available data being partly empirical in nature, it was desirable to be able to predict this relationship. In this paper an attempt is made to explain the mechanism defining this relationship for a pneumatic tyre operating on a hard pavement. The distinct roles of the flexibility of the tyre and the sliding of the wheel are identified and utilized in predicting the curve. A model of the tyre is proposed to explain the role of flexibility of the tyre. It is shown that the procedure suggested here can clearly bring out the effects of some of the operating paramenters of the vehicle, such as speed of the vehicle, presence of contaminants in the contact patch, stiffness of the tyre, and vertical load on the wheel.

A thorough understanding of how the delivered face angle and club path of a golf club influences the initial launch direction of a golf ball can play a significant role in the design of various club types as well as help players and coaches better understand performance in the field. A theoretical model based on a Hertzian impact formulation with the inclusion of tangential compliance via Coulomb friction is compared to empirical results. This comparison demonstrates that the initial launch direction of a golf ball for a given club path and face angle can be sufficiently predicted by the theoretical model, providing insights into the mechanisms leading to different launch direction percentages relative to face angle for various club types. Additionally, the relationship between launch direction and the coefficient of friction is explored for various angles of incidence.

PurposeTo address the lack of data in this field and determine the relationship between the coefficient of friction and the interference between locomotive wheels and axles, this study evaluates the theoretical relationship between the coefficient of friction and the interference under elastic deformation.Design/methodology/approachWhen using numerical analyses to study the mechanical state of the contacting components of the wheels and axle, the interference between the axle parts and the coefficient of friction between the axle parts are two important influencing factors. Currently, as the range of the coefficient of friction between the wheel and axle in interference remains unknown, it is generally considered that the coefficient of friction is only related to the materials of the friction pair; the relationship between the interference and the coefficient of friction is often neglected.FindingsA total of 520 press-fitting experiments were conducted for 130 sets of wheels and axles of the HXD2 locomotive with 4 types of interferences, in order to obtain the relationship between the coefficient of friction between the locomotive wheel and axle and the amount of interference. These results are expected to serve as a reference for selecting the coefficient of friction when designing axle structures with the rolling stock, research on the press-fitting process and evaluations of the fatigue life.Originality/valueThe study provides a basis for the selection of friction coefficient and interference amount in the design of locomotive wheels and axles.

The Relationship

The damage assessment of freight cars during shunting and loading and unloading operations was made. The need to review the normative documents regulating the relationship between the owners of rolling stock, owners of non-public tracks and the carrier is noted. The reasons for formation of damage on the wheel pairs of freight cars when disbanding on low-power sorting slides are considered. The conditions for ensuring the deceleration of detachments on non-mechanized sorting slides without damaging the wheels are determined. The analysis of methods for ensuring braking on low-power slides is carried out. A method was chosen to ensure the wheel set rotation by introducing a third body between the rubbing surfaces during the braking of cars, which will take over a part of the resulting heat flow, reducing the temperature and increasing the coefficient of friction in the «wheel-rail» contact zone. A method is proposed to provide braking on the non-mechanized sorting slide during shoe braking by applying a friction compound to a non-working rail. Laboratory tests were carried out, which showed that the introduction of a friction additive can achieve the necessary coefficient of friction to comply with the standard parameters of deceleration of the car in the braking zone.

The chapter discusses the tribological properties of samples with multilayer composite nanostructured Ti-TiN-(Ti,Cr,Al,Si)N, Zr-ZrN-(Nb,Zr,Cr,Al)N, and Zr-ZrN-(Zr,Al,Si)N coatings, as well as Ti-TiN-(Ti,Al,Cr)N, with different values of the nanolayer period λ. The relationship between tribological parameters, a temperature varying within a range of 20–1000°C, and λ was investigated. The studies have found that the adhesion component of the coefficient of friction (COF) varies nonlinearly with a pronounced extremum depending on temperature. The value of λ has a noticeable influence on the tribological properties of the coatings, and the nature of the mentioned influence depends on temperature. The tests found that for the coatings with all studied values of λ, an increase in temperature first caused an increase and then a decrease in COF.

An experiment is conducted to investigate the role of surface roughness on the coefficient of friction and contact resistance of sliding electrical contacts. A hemispherical pin is sliding along both smooth and rough 2-meter rail surface. Tests are performed at both low and moderate sliding speed and for a range of electrical current densities, ranging from 0 to about 12 GA/m2. It was found that surface roughness had a significant influence on the coefficient of friction, with the smoother surfaces exhibiting higher coefficients of friction. Contact resistance, on the other hand, did not show as strong an effect of surface roughness, except for a few parameter combinations. At the higher current densities studied (>10 GA/m2), it was found that the contact resistance values tended to be on the order of 1 mΩ, independent of load, speed and roughness. This convergence may be due to presence of liquid metal film at the interface, which established ideal electrical contact.

The Relationship

The nature of the interaction between a rigid spherical asperity and an asperity governed by the stress/strain law [Formula: see text] is studied. The interfacial shear stress is defined by f τmax where 0 < f < 1, τ maxbeing the maximum allowable shear stress at the contact. By integrating the total effect of a population of such surface asperities expressions for the total frictional forces, and the total load are derived. The value of the coefficient of friction is thus obtained and the special conditions for perfectly plastic and elastic behaviour are considered. In both cases the friction coefficient is seen to contain a term defined by the deformation and dependent on surface roughness and a term totally defined by f. Using the same model a fatigue type failure criteria is introduced to predict the volume of wear. It is then possible to produce a wear law which is consistent with experience and which includes the relationship between the wear and the coefficient of friction.

In this paper, the antiwear and antifriction performance of MoS2 nanoparticle in castor oil was studied. The ball-on-disc tests were performed for different concentrations of MoS2 nanoparticle. Coefficient of friction, wear loss, and worn surface morphology were investigated. The results show that MoS2 nanoparticle could reduce the possibility of asperities direct contact, resulting in the reduction of the coefficient of friction and adhesive wear. However, MoS2 nanoparticle in excessive concentration could agglomerate into large particles, playing the role of an abrasive particle, which reduces the beneficial effects of MoS2 nanoparticle.
