The coefficient of friction for the bronze material (CuZn25Al6) with inset graphite beds is investigated in the present paper. Friction coefficient was investigated experimentally by the testing machine Tribotestor`89 which uses the principle of the ring on ring method. Tribotestor`89 machine may be classed to the rotary tribometers. The tested sliding pairs were of the same material. The internal bushing performed a rotational movement with constant sliding speed (v = 0.8 m s-1). The external fixed bushing was exposed to the normal load, which was of different sizes and different variations. Process of load was increased from level 50 N to 200 N (400 N, 600 N) during run up 600 s, after the run up the appropriate level of load was held.The forth test had a rectangular shape of loading with direct current component 400 N and the amplitude 200 N period 600 s, the whole test took 1800 s. The obtained results reveal that friction coefficient decreases with the increase of normal load. Further, that the coefficient of friction was found smaller at constant load, as compared to rectangular shape of loading.

The coefficient of friction for the bronze material (CuZn25Al6) with insert graphite beds and other bronze material (CuSn12) are investigated in this paper. Friction coefficient was investigated experimentally by the testing machine Tribotestor`89 which uses the principle of the ring on ring method. The external fixed bushing was exposed to the normal load of the same size in all tests. Process of load was increased from level 50 N to 600 N during run up 300 s, after the run up the appropriate level of load was held. The internal bushing performed a rotational movement with constant sliding speed. The value of sliding speed was changed individually for every sample (v = 0.2 (0.3, 0.4) m.s-1). The forth test had a rectangular shape of sliding speed with direct current component 0.3 m.s-1 and the amplitude 0.1 m.s-1 period 300 s, the whole test took 2100 s. The obtained results reveal that friction coefficient increase with the increase of sliding speed.

Abstract The purpose of this article is to describe the methodology to define coefficient of friction between a tool and a forming material during tube cold draw technology process. In this regard, an experimental drawing process was done by using the tensile testing machine. The tensile testing machine was modified by additional equipment that allows drawing the tube. During the drawing, the force was recorded. Subsequently, the finite element simulation of cold draw forming was used to generate load-stroke curves with different friction coefficient. The friction coefficient was estimated by comparing the load stroke and the force recorded curves.

The present paper investigates experimentally effect of applied load and different velocity on the coefficient of friction between two interacting surfaces (human skin and Ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMW- polyethylene) at static and dynamic friction. It is possible to conclude specific point based on the above practical part and frictional analysis of this investigation as the most important mechanical phenomenon was creep has been observed a stick time interval where the static friction force is significantly increased during this stroke. The analytical model for stick-slip of skin and UHMWPE is proposed. The difference between static and kinetic friction defines the amplitude of stick-slip phenomena. The contact pressure, the sliding velocity, and rigidity of system determine the stability conditions of the movement between skin and UHMWPE. Experiments were carried out by developing a device (friction measurement). Variations of friction coefficient during the time at different normal load 4.6 and 9.2 N and low sliding velocity 4, 5, 6 and 7 mm/min were experimentally investigated. The results showed that the friction coefficient varied with the normal load and low sliding velocity. At static friction, the coefficient of friction decreased when the time increases, whereas, at dynamic friction, the coefficient of friction decreased when the time increased at normal load 4.6 and 9.2 N.

Explaining the phenomena occurring at the level of relative friction surfaces has become increasingly complex and often contradictory. Research over time has shown that the friction coefficient for a friction coupler is not a constant magnitude, as Amonton-Coulomb has stated, its values being dependent on a multitude of factors (normal load, slip rate, the nature of the material, the state of lubrication, etc.). The laws of the two are considered to be valid only under conditions of dry rubbing and elastic deformation of the surfaces in contact. The present paper proposes in the first part a study on the theoretical expression of the coefficient of friction. The experimental part of the paper highlights the variation of the coefficient of friction with the speed, loading and processing of the contact surface. It was made on a tribological stand of pin / disc type, and the coupler used was polymeric material called Turcit (for disc) / general purpose steel (for pine).

The experimental investigation of reciprocating motion between the aluminum doped crumb rubber /epoxy composite and the steel ball has been carried out under Reciprocating Friction Tester, TR-282 to study the wear and coefficient of frictions using different normal loads (0.4Kg, 0.7Kgand1Kg), differentfrequencies (10Hz, 25Hz and 40Hz).The wear is a function of normal load, reciprocating frequency, reciprocating duration and the composition of the material. The percentage of aluminum presents in the composite changesbut the other components remain the same.The four types of composites are fabricated by compression molding process having 0%, 10%, 20% and 30% Al. The effect of different parameters such as normal load, reciprocating frequency and percentage of aluminum has been studied. It is observed that the wear and coefficient of friction is influenced by the parameters. The tendency of wear goes on decreasing with the increase of normal load and it is minimum for a composite having 10%aluminum at a normal load of 0.7Kg and then goes on increasing at higher loads for all types of composite due to the adhesive nature of the composite. The coefficient of friction goes on decreasing with increasing normal loads due to the formation of thin film as an effect of heat generation with normal load.

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 transition between static and kinetic frictions of steel/shale pairs has been studied. It was found that the coefficient of friction decreased exponentially from static to dynamic friction coefficient with increasing sliding displacement. The difference between static and dynamic friction coefficients and the critical distance Dc under the dry friction condition is much larger than that under the lubricated condition. The transition from static to dynamic friction coefficient is greatly affected by the normal load, quiescent time, and sliding velocity, especially the lubricating condition. Maintaining continuous lubrication of the contact area by the lubricant is crucial to reduce or eliminate the stick-slip motion. The results provide an insight into the transition from static to dynamic friction of steel/shale pairs.

Abstract The results of two-dimensional approach using real variable method to Hertz’s problem of contact of elastic bodies are presented. Both normal and tangential loads are assumed to be distributed in Hertzian fashion over the area of contact. The magnitude of the intensity of the tangential load is assumed to be linearly proportional to that of the normal load when sliding motion of the body is impending. The stresses in the elastic body due to the application of these loads on its boundary are presented in closed form for both plane-stress and plane-strain cases. A numerical value of f = 1/3 is assumed for the linear proportionality (coefficient of friction) between the tangential and normal loads in order that the distribution of stresses may be illustrated. The significance of the stress distribution, across the contact area and in the body, is also discussed. It is shown that when the combination of loads considered in the paper are applied at the contact area of bodies in contact the maximum shearing stress may be at the surface instead of beneath the surface. For example, for plane strain, if the coefficient of friction is f = 1/3, the maximum shearing stress is at the surface and is 43 per cent larger than the maximum shearing stress, which would be below the surface, that occurs when the normal force acts alone. The effect of range of normal stress and of shearing stress on the plane of maximum shear and on the plane of maximum octahedral shear on failure by progressive fracture (fatigue) is discussed.

Tactile feedback technology has important development prospects in interactive technology. In order to enrich the tactile sense of haptic devices under simple control, a piezoelectric haptic feedback device is proposed. The piezoelectric tactile feedback device can realize tactile changes in different excitation voltage amplitudes, different excitation frequencies, and different directions through the ciliary body structure. The principle of the anisotropic vibration of the ciliary body structure was analyzed here, and a tactile model was established. The equivalent friction coefficient under full-coverage and local-coverage of the skin of the touch beam was deduced and solved. The effect of system parameters on the friction coefficient was analyzed. The results showed that in the full-coverage, the tactile effect is mainly affected by the proportion of the same directional ciliary bodies and the excitation frequency. The larger the proportion of the same direction ciliary body is, the smaller the coefficient of friction is. The larger the excitation frequency is, the greater the coefficient of friction is. In the local-coverage, the tactile effect is mainly affected by the touch position and voltage amplitude. When changing the touch pressure, it has a certain effect on the change of touch, but it is relatively weak. The experiment on the sliding friction of a cantilever touch beam and the experiment of human factor were conducted. The experimental results of the sliding friction experiment are basically consistent with the theoretical calculations. In the human factor experiment, the effects of haptic regulation are mainly affected by voltage or structure of the ciliary bodies.

The effect of film thickness in solid friction is reviewed. Two regimes are distinguished: (a) increasing coefficient of friction with decreasing film thickness which occurs for ultrathin films and (b) decreasing coefficient of friction with decreasing film thickness which occurs for thin films. The former regime has previously been treated by the author; consequently, attention is focused on the latter regime. A review of the thin film phenomenon establishes that it is very much dependent on the type of deformation occurring at the contact and concludes that no single expression can uniquely describe it for all materials situations. A special theory is put forth for the contact situation corresponding to a model of an elastic layer of much less rigidity than its substrate and indenter. This situation corresponds to practically all naturally occurring and bonded nonmetallic solid lubricant films of industrial and scientific interest. It is shown that coefficient of friction f obeys the relation f ∝ 1/P for variable load P and constant thickness h, f ∝ h for constant load and variable film thickness, and f ∝ h/P for the general case. These expressions are verified by use of data from pin-on-disk tests, Falex tests, 4-ball tests, modified MacMillan tests, and other types of tests. The experimental data are for naturally formed graphite on diamond, SiO2 bonded PbO on stainless steel, and phenolic bonded 9MoS2-1 graphite films on steel and aluminum.
