A new design parameter, friction-instability, is defined in this paper. Friction-instability is a variation in the coefficient of friction which may occur at any time during the life of a brake lining. A friction-index is defined which measures this variation. A lining which has a high friction index may tend to cause an automobile to swerve either to the right or to the left. A unique experimental facility is described by means of which the friction-instability characteristics of brake linings can be measured. Test results using this facility are presented and interpreted. The friction-index is proposed as a new parameter which should be taken into consideration when brakes are designed and, developed. This index should be particularly useful as a quality control device to insure that machines which use mass-produced braking systems will perform in a safe and effective manner.

The formulae of classical hydrodynamics are not suitable for the calculation of load capacity and power loss of worm gear drives. Thus a theoretical basis had to be developed for the comparison of different tooth profiles, materials of worm and worm wheel and lubricants. The data obtained were compared with test results. It proved that the coefficient of friction is an important influence factor.

When looking in detail at analyses of the tribological load-carrying capacity of lubricants, it becomes apparent that an exclusive evaluation of the development of the coefficient of friction cannot provide any sufficient criteria for determining the occurrence of adhesive failure. This is due on the one hand to the increasing complexity of lubricant formulae, and on the other hand to the increasing power capacity of modern drive and control concepts in the construction of tribometers. For this reason, it is urgently needed to examine the adhesive processes and their detection in more detail with the help of appropriate tribological values and criteria. The evolution of the friction can be coupled with the stroke, contact resistance, and other parameters. Besides, from new criteria for adhesive failure, which were compiled by the workgroup for the relevant ISO, DIN, and ASTM standards, this contribution discusses the inclusion of additional parameters. The SRV® test system—where SRV stands for the German acronym for oscillation, friction, and wear—is one that was developed to analyze adhesive failure from many measurements alongside the coefficient of friction. Testing with the SRV® system is done via step tests with standardized procedures and parameters, which are in accordance with ASTM test methods. The system continuously monitors electrical resistance, zero stroke position signals, temperature, and other measurements, and can derive further parameters that also help to identify adhesive failure and other adhesive events. These dimensionally reduced parameters can provide new insight on the mechanism of the adhesive behavior. This paper aims to discuss how the interpretation of these step tests beyond the development of coefficient of friction can lead to new knowledge and insight in tribological research, and explores the applicability of Stribeck’s theory to the oscillatory and reciprocating motion utilized in the SRV® tribometer.

Dry-film and zinc-phosphate (Zn-P) lubricants were compared for potential applications of dry-film lubricant in tube cold forming processes through the twist compression test. Test results showed that the coefficient of friction (m) had no significant difference between Zn-P soap lube and dry-film lube. The lube coating breakdown time is different between Zn-P soap and dry-film lube. A preliminary industrial trial with dry-film coated tube through the cold drawn over a mandrel showed that the tube surface quality is good and comparable with the Zn-P coated tubes.

The inability to take into account the type of base material (floor, pavement, soil), as well as the inability to take into account the variable friction conditions – load, intermediary medium (water, loose abrasive, sand or other soil particles), sliding velocity, and ambient temperature – is a significant limitation the use of friction methods and devices used so far in the footwear industry to precisely anticipate the behavior of the bottom materials in the actual operating conditions of the footwear. These limitations prompted the authors to adapt a tribological tester for this purpose, used in the area of construction and operation of machines and material engineering. A research methodology was developed and, in order to verify it, measurements of the coefficient of friction and wear of polyurethane used for shoe soles in combination with a raw and varnished wooden substrate were carried out. The obtained test results are characterized by diversity, which proves the high research resolution of the developed method. It allows determining the coefficient of friction of associations influencing the slip of the footwear and the wear and tear that determines the length of use of the footwear.

This paper presents an update on a friction benchmark, that was proposed during the 13th ESAFORM conference. The goal is to compare different friction test set-ups [1–4] by determining the coefficient of friction (CoF) for Twintex® PP. The benchmark instructions are based on the ASTM standard D1894 [5] but also account for different friction velocities, pressures and temperatures. At the time of writing five research groups contributed to the benchmark, each with a custom designed test set-up, differing in size, mechanism, force control and temperature regulation. All tests will be conducted with woven glass reinforced polypropylene, from the same Twintex® batch. Conclusions will be drawn about the comparability of different testing methods by recognizing and analyzing systematically deviating results.

Skid resistance is an important factor in a rational maintenance program for pavement surfaces. Therefore, the skid resistance of a road surface is monitored by maintaining skid resistance inventories; in addition, spot checks are made at high accident sites. The equipment, called the dynamic friction tester (DF tester), is a disc-rotating-type tester that measures the friction force between the surface and three rubber pads attached to the disc. The disc rotates horizontally at a linear speed of about 80 to 20 km/hr under a constant load, so the DF tester can measure the skid resistance at any speed in this range with a single measurement. At the same time, the results provide speed dependency of skid resistance that will be as close as possible to the results obtained by other testing modes. The DF tester can measure on flat as well as rutted surfaces, the depths of which are less than 6 mm. In that case, the coefficient of variation is found to be less than 10 percent. The long-term characteristics of the coefficient of friction were measured by the DF tester, the British pendulum tester and the mini-texture meter. The coefficient of friction increases moderately with the traffic service period (up to 35 weeks) and decreases with increasing speed. The test results showed a significant speed dependency on the coefficient of friction measured by the DF tester although there was a high relationship between the coefficient of friction of the DF tester and the British pendulum number at each point and at each measuring speed. A weak relationship was found between the coefficient of friction and the sensor-measured texture depth values produced by the texture meter. Results of the Permanent International Association of Road Congresses experiment to compare and harmonize texture and skid resistance measurements indicate that the DF tester is capable of reporting the friction component (F60) of the international friction index using the friction coefficient at 60 km/hr.
