Stepping over obstacles of different heights and varied shoe traction alter the kinetic strategies of the leading limb.
This study aims to investigate the effects of shoe traction and obstacle height on friction during walking to better understand the mechanisms required to avoid slippage following obstacle clearance. Ten male subjects walked at a self-selected pace during eight different conditions: four obstacle heights (0%, 10%, 20% and 40% of limb length) while wearing two different pairs of shoes (low and h...
متن کاملThe Current Status of Tribological Surface Science
Use of the ultrahigh vacuum methods of surface science allows the preparation and study of highly characterized solid–solid interfaces for tribological investigations. One of the limiting factors in the progress of our understanding of tribology has been the inability to generate solid–solid interfaces with well-defined, reproducible, atomic scale structures and compositions. The preparation of...
متن کاملThe Squeaks in Your Sneaks: Vibrations at the Shoe-surface Interface
Contact between rubber-soled shoes and indoor sports surfaces commonly results in brief, high-pitched “squeaks” (Fig. 1). The classical Amontons-Coulomb friction paradigm assumed by most slip-resistance research does not accommodate vibration or sound generation. Consequently, an examination of this phenomenon offers the possibility of novel insights into the mechanics of shoe-surface interaction.
متن کاملShoe-surface friction influences movement strategies during a sidestep cutting task: implications for anterior cruciate ligament injury risk.
BACKGROUND Increasing the coefficient of friction of the shoe-surface interaction has been shown to lead to increased incidence of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries, but the causes for this increase are unknown. Previous studies indicate that specific biomechanical measures during landing are associated with an increased risk for ACL injury. HYPOTHESIS At foot contact during a sideste...
متن کاملRailway Open System Tribology Railway Open System Tribology
Tribology in the railway system is of increasing interest in the new railway era due to the demand for higher speed and load capacity. Since railway vehicles operate in an open environment, their performance depends greatly on temperature, humidity and natural and artificial contaminants. Meanwhile, the “feedback” of railway vehicles to the surroundings, such as noise and airborne particles, is...
