Cylindrical surface grinding can create defined textural patterns on a component with high quantity. This paper presents an experimental investigation of the frictional behaviours of ground cylindrical microstructural surfaces under a well lubrication condition. It shows that the coefficient of friction (COF) of microstructural surface is influenced by different workload and rotation speed. The results reveal that conventional surface roughness parameters do not present the influence of surface microstructure on friction performance well. However, the paper presents an interesting discovery that the friction behaviour of microstructural surfaces created by grinding could be controlled by combining dressing and grinding conditions. Such a discovery provides a logic way to reduce surface friction for energy efficiency applications. A few functional relationships have been established to illustrate the influence of microstructural features on friction. It was found that the ground microstructural surface could improve friction performance up to 20% compared to the smoother surfaces without defined surface textural patterns.

The clamber animal foot pads were researched by the Super Depth of Field3D Microscopic System marked VHX-600 and the flexible non-smooth surface friction mechanism of clamber animal foot pad was analysed through bionic tribology. The total friction includes two aspects: a) The sliding friction caused by the adsorbability between clamber animal foot pad and external surface. b) The embedding resistance caused by the external surface micro particles embedded into clamber animal foot pad. The mathematical model of single convex hull was built and the different center distance bionic surfaces were designed, the friction contact simulation of bionic surface was done by ANSYS and the friction performance of bionic surface was verified through the plane friction testbed.

In this study, a DLC pattern was fabricated through a photolithography process that constitutes a part of the semiconductor process, to investigate the frictional wear characteristics. The photolithography was used to produce negative patterns with a pattern width of 10 [Formula: see text]m or 20 [Formula: see text]m and a pattern depth of 500 nm on the DLC surface. The change in the coefficient of friction of the surface was investigated through a ball-on-disk tribology test on the fabricated micro/nano-sized DLC pattern. The DLC pattern fabricated by the photolithography process showed a superior coefficient of friction to that of the general DLC sample. These results show that the decrease in the surface friction coefficient of the patterned DLC thin film is due to the reduction in the surface contact area owing to the modification of the micro/nano-texture of the surface as well as the low friction characteristics of the DLC.

High friction surface treatment (HFST) has been proactively used as a solution to extreme friction demands at locations such as horizontal curves, ramps, bridge decks, and intersections. Considerable efforts have been made to evaluate the use of HFST across the United States (U.S.) The American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) has issued a provisional specification, i.e., AASHTO PP 79-14, to help state Departments of Transportation (DOTs) to successfully apply HFST. This paper presents a further effort made by the authors to evaluate and compare the friction performance and durability of single and double layer HFTS systems with calcined bauxite aggregate. The laboratory accelerated polishing was conducted to evaluate the effects of aggregate candidate gradations on the friction performance, such as friction coefficient and macrotexture mean profile depth (MPD), and to determine the aggregate gradation for field evaluation. Field evaluation was conducted on both single and double layer HFST systems using test strips under actual traffic polishing over a time period of nine months that covered an entire snow season. It was found that larger aggregate size tends to yield larger MPD, but larger MPD does not necessarily imply larger friction. The double layer HFST did not outperform the single layer HFST with respect to friction and durability. If the properties of calcined bauxite aggregate are precisely defined, either surface friction or MPD can solely be utilized as the frictional metric for quality assurance (QA) of HFST.


A study is made of the frictional behaviour of crystals (diamond, magnesium oxide, sapphire) sliding on themselves in high vacuum (10 -10 torr). The surface films normally present on these crystals are very tenacious but they may be worn away by repeated sliding in the same track. Under these conditions the friction of the clean crystals may increase by a factor of ten so that the coefficient of friction may rise to μ ≈ 1. The frictional rise is limited because of the elastic and brittle behaviour of the contact regions. Under these conditions subsurface deformation and fracture of the crystal occurs and this, combined with the high surface adhesion, causes pronounced wear. Adsorption of a few molecular layers of gas can again reduce the friction to a low value. The results are relevant to the operation of bearings and to the wear of surfaces in space.

The paper mainly introduces a new apparatus (CHES-FY) to measure fabric surface friction. Compacted with the KES-FB system, the CHES-FY system has its own superiority. Through designing orthogonal tests, corresponding properties of 16 groups fabrics were measured by CHES-FY system. Based on the correlation analysis between KES-FB system with CHES-FY system, it indicates that the two systems have high correlations. Thereafter, regression equation that includes four parameters through multiple linear regression were achieved. It reports that CHES-FY system is feasible and accurate in measuring fabric surface friction performance.

Skip resistance of asphalt is an important parameter that can influence the safety of drivers on roads. Although there is a linear relationship between slipping on road surfaces and accidents, the impacts of pollutants for decreasing friction of roads is clear to researchers. Moisture and temperature influence friction and safety. In this research in SMA samples, three different gradations with the maximum nominal sizes of 19, 12.5 and 9.5, based on international standards were used. For polluting the surface, five materials that are found on roads were used, including fine-grained soil, sand, oil, soot and rubber powder. To measure the skip resistance, the British pendulum tester was used and for analysing macro-texture, the sand patch method was used. The results of this research showed that by increasing the maximum nominal size of aggregates, the depth of macro-texture in surfaces are grown and this is due to the decrease of fine aggregates in larger gradations. Because of the higher flexibility of pure bitumen, the applied compression pressure on rigid aggregates can cause indentations in the substrate and result in declining the roughness height of aggregates in the mixed surface. This leads to declining the hysteresis part of friction by increasing temperature.

Purpose This paper aims to study the frictional performance of reciprocating pair with high velocity by using hydrodynamic lubrication principle and fish scale textured piston model. Design/methodology/approach Based on the idea of function characteristic approximation and coordinate change, a mathematical representation model of imitating fish scale texture pit section is established. According to the principle of dynamic pressure lubrication of the textured fluid, a three-dimensional numerical model of flow field for fish scale texture is established without considering cavitation. Numerical analysis of the model carp scale texture unit by orthogonal experimental design and FLUENT software is carried out. Findings Effects of fish scale pit texture on friction properties for a reciprocating pair piston surface with high velocity (impact piston) are acquired. Effects of texture characterization parameters and flow rate on the surface friction performance for impact piston are found. Effects of different characteristic parameters combination of imitating fish scale texture on friction performance for impact piston surface are obtained.

Starvation occurs when the lubricated contact uses up the lubricant supply, and there is not enough lubricant in the contact to support the separation between solid surfaces. On the other hand, the use of textures on surfaces in lubricated contacts can result in a higher film thickness. In addition, a modification of the surface’s geometrical parameters can benefit the tribological behaviour of the contacts. In this article, for parallel sliding surfaces in starved lubricated conditions, the effect of surface texturing upon the coefficient of friction is investigated. It is shown that surface texturing may improve film formation under the conditions of starvation, and as a result, the frictional behaviour of the parallel sliding contact. Furthermore, the effect of starved lubrication on textured surfaces with different patterns in the presence of a cavitation effect, and its influence on frictional behaviour, is investigated. It is shown that surface texturing can reduce the coefficient of friction, and that under certain conditions, the texturing parameter could have an influence on the frictional behaviour of parallel sliding contacts in the starved lubrication regime.


The coefficient of friction of surfaces lubricated under boundary conditions may be profoundly affected by such factors as the degree of working of the substrate material, the nature of the oxide film and the degree of roughness of the surface. Experiments are described wherein the frictional behaviour of surfaces of stainless steel specimens prepared in various ways was compared. The worked surface layers in these particular experiments appear to increase the value of the coefficient of friction, but the effect of surface texture is of predominant importance. The effect of different oxide films is best illustrated by reference to pure aluminium, the surface of which has been oxidized under different environmental conditions. The constitution of the oxide film formed is modified with a consequent effect on boundary friction. When the friction of rough and smooth surfaces is compared, the difference in behaviour appears to be qualitative rather than quantitative.
