Many studies use an inclined ice plane to determine the effect of different materials and processing conditions on sliding over an ice surface. Experiments measure the sliding time at different stages on the track to determine the sliding speed and the coefficient-of-friction. Here, the sliding body vibrations and, the oscillations in axial directions are addressed. This paper analyzes the sample’s acceleration by attaching a portable High Sensitivity 1.25g USB Accelerometer and compares the data with 3D CAM modeling results to identify the causes for interrupted sliding.

This paper is intended to demonstrate that designers of wet clutches for power transmission can obtain the optimum friction characteristics for specific applications by considering the interaction between friction materials and lubricants. A friction clutch plate rig is described and the friction results obtained are presented. It is shown that a wide variation of coefficients of friction and frictional characteristics in wet friction clutches can be obtained by changing the oils and friction materials. In particular the coefficient of friction is dependent upon (1) the oil, (2) the materials of the sliding surfaces, (3) sliding speed, and (4) temperature. It is also shown that the coefficient of friction is affected by ( a) refining treatment given to the oil, ( b) different base oils, and ( c) additives.

The contribution deals with measurement of the coefficient of friction in the sliding joint. Rotanional sliding pair, which was tested, is described in this paper. Their tribological characteristics were measured by test equipment Tribotestor`89. The value of the coefficient of friction for the bushings from brass, aluminium and polyamide for chosen load (the sliding speed, loading, duration) are analysed in the paper. The largest decrease in the size of the coefficient of friction was recorded for bushings from aluminium, its value have decreased by 87.5% during the run up. Decrease of the coefficient of friction was recorded about 82% for bushings from brass and about 72% for bushings from polyamide. Run up lasted 10 minutes in all tests.

Abstract The contact width, and hence contact area, for an elastic wedge pressed against a rigid flat surface appears to be proportional to the applied load per unit length. For a particular rubber sample, the reciprocal of the constant of proportionality, i.e., the mean normal pressure, was 130 kPa, i.e., about 7% of the tensile modulus E of the material. It was also independent of sliding speed over the range examined. Thus, a sharp wedge gave a relatively high loading pressure, independent of the applied load. As a result, the coefficient of friction was also independent of applied load over a wide range. The coefficient of friction was measured for a wedge of an unfilled natural rubber vulcanizate over wide ranges of sliding speed (50 µm/s to 100 mm/s) and test temperature (3°C to 63°C). It was found to increase with sliding speed and decrease with temperature over these ranges. The results at different temperatures were superposable using the WLF rate-temperature equivalence to create a master curve of friction vs. reduced sliding speed, rising from a value of about 1.5 at high temperatures and low speeds to about 5 at low temperatures and high speeds. Chlorination of a thin surface region reduced the coefficient of friction and its dependence on speed and temperature. It then became similar to that typically found for thermoplastics, 0.4 to 0.7. The geometry of sliding a flexible strip against a rigid curved surface caused high values of the apparent coefficient of friction to be obtained at relatively small departures from normal loading. In an extreme case, frictional seizure was observed when a high-friction sample contacted the glass surface at an angle of about 15° to the direction of loading. The apparent coefficient of friction then became indefinitely large. This same phenomenon of abnormally large frictional effects would be expected to occur in the case of conventional windshield-wiper blades, sliding over curved glass windshields.

It is known that the service life of oilfield machines and mechanisms is to a certain extent determined by the operability of friction units, the operation of which, as a rule, occurs under severe conditions (heavy loads, abrasive aqueous medium, etc.). It is also known that the determining parameters in the units of machines and mechanisms (lubricated with water) with polymer elements are specific load, sliding speed and relative clearance. In the field, these factors affect the coefficient of friction together, therefore, the study of their influence [µ = f (p, ʋ, ψ)] on the coefficient of friction is possible only with the use of mathematical modeling. We have studied the nature of the joint influence of the main operating parameters on the performance of the ison thermoplastic elastomer plain bearings. Keywords: Operation, polymer elements, field conditions, bearings, sliding speed.

Experiments are described in which stationary copper specimens are rubbed in a normal atmosphere against a rotating S62 steel disc under normal loads up to 4·5 lbf. The coefficient of friction is measured at sliding speeds of 93, 220, 328, and 490 ft/s using ⅛-in diameter specimens. Except at the lowest speed a gradual buildup of a continuous copper oxide layer on the disc track is observed with increasing normal load together with a corresponding decrease in the coefficient of friction. Having established an oxide layer on the track the coefficient of friction observed is low for all normal loads. The coefficient of friction is shown to decrease with normal load N and sliding speed U, to be a function of N1/2 U, and to depend on the state of the disc surface. Wear of -in diameter specimens is measured by weighing before and after a test. The wear rate is shown to decrease with sliding speed and increase with load, and for speeds of 220 and 328 ft/s to be a function of N/U. The wear rates measured at 93 ft/s are the same function of N/U for low values of N/U.

An in-house pin-on-disc apparatus is designed and constructed to perform the tests and the design of experiments technique is utilized to determine the effect of vibration, amplitude of vibration, surface roughness, and sliding speed and their cross influence on coefficient of friction for 304 stainless steel and Alloy 6061 Aluminum. The design is performed using response surface method (RSM). The coefficient of friction (CoF) is analyzed as a nonlinear function of the factors and predicted by a second-order polynomial equation. Results suggested that the presence of vibration affect the friction function CoF considerably for both metals. The friction function linearly decreases with the increases of vibration and amplitude of vibration, non-linearly decreases with the increases of sliding speed and linearly increases with the increases of the surface roughness until the middle range is reached and then there is non-linearly decrease thereafter. Similar trends of friction functions are observed for Alloy 6061 Aluminum with a reduction of almost 15% except for the case with amplitude of vibration where the variation showed more significant affect on the friction function when Alloy 6061 Aluminum disk is used.

In this paper the friction and wear characteristics of vinylester and vinylester composites have been investigated under dry sliding conditions for different applied normal load, sliding speed and sliding distance. The experiments have been carried on a pin on disc arrangement at normal room temperature conditions. The influence of friction and wear parameters like normal load, speed, sliding distance and percentage of filler content on the friction and wear rate has been investigated. In this study, a plan of experiments based on the techniques of Taguchi was performed to acquire data in a controlled way. An orthogonal array L27 (313) and Analysis of variance (ANOVA) were applied to investigate the influence of process parameters on the coefficient of friction and sliding wear behaviour of these composites. The Taguchi design of experiment approach eliminates the need for repeated experiments and thus saves time, material and cost. The results showed that with increase in the applied normal load and sliding speed the coefficient of friction and specific wear rate decreases under dry sliding conditions. It is also found that a thin film formed on the counterface seems to be effective in improving the tribological characteristics. The results showed that the inclusion of cenosphere as filler materials in vinylester composites will increase the wear resistance of the composite significantly.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to include investigation on extreme pressure lubrication behaviour of Al2O3 nanoparticles suspended in SAE20W40 lubricating oil. Effects of nanoparticles size (40-80 nm) and its concentration (0-1 per cent) on the coefficient of friction is studied using pin-on-disc tribotester. Design/methodology/approach – Taguchi technique is used to optimize the process parameters for lower coefficient of friction. L18 orthogonal array involving six levels for one factor and three levels for remaining three factors is selected for the experimentation. The parameters selected for the study are sliding speed, normal load, nanoparticles size and its concentration in base oil. Findings – It has been found that the presence of nanoparticles in proper concentration shows excellent tribological improvement in frictional characteristics compared to the base oil. The optimal combination of the parameters for minimum coefficient of friction is found to be 0.8 per cent concentration of 60 nm sized Al2O3 nanoparticles, 1,200 rpm sliding speed and 160 N of normal load. The mechanism of friction reduction in presence of nanoparticles is investigated using scanning electron microscopy. Originality/value – This is the original work.
