The origin of friction comes from the atomic interaction at interfaces. Analytic theories indicated that there is no static friction on clean incommensurate interfaces, while a recent experiment revealed that the static friction coefficient was anisotropic with respect to the lattice orientation, but did not vanish on two clean Ni(100) mis-orientated surfaces. To understand this friction anisot...

Real-time measurement of tire-road friction coefficient is extremely valuable for winter road maintenance operations and can be used to optimize the kind and quantity of the deicing and anti-icing chemicals applied to the roadway. In this project, a wheel based tire-road friction coefficient measurement system is first developed for snowplows. Unlike a traditional Norse meter, this system is ba...

In this study, the predictive model of friction coefficient using cylindrical compression was constructed through combining the finite element method and neutral networks. Namely, the related data of the materials characters, cylinder compression bulging, and how they were associated with friction coefficient was obtained by the finite element method. Based on those analysis data, the relations...

The work material in metal working operations always shows some kind of anisotropy. In order to simplify the theoretical analysis, especially considering bulk deformation processes, anisotropy is usually neglected and the material is assumed to be isotropic. On the other hand, the analysis that considered the influence of anisotropy seldom incorporates the influence of friction. For predicting ...

Cross-corrugated triangular channels increase heat transfer in heat exchangers. The mixing effect increases the heat transfer coefficient at the surfaces. In this study, the fluid flow and heat transfer in a triangular corrugated channel are modeled under two constant heat fluxes and different Reynolds numbers. In order to validate, k-ω turbulence model is used. Also, the effect of magnetic fie...

A thermal model of kinetic friction is assigned to a classical loaded particle moving on fluctuating smooth surface. sinusoidal wave resembles surface fluctuations with relaxation time. The Hamiltonian approximated the mean energy describing system Harmonic oscillators. quantization amplitudes yields in terms annihilation and creation operators multiplied by quantum phase. Further, we consider ...

This paper presents the friction and anti-wear characteristics of nano-oil with a mixture of refrigerant oil and carbon nano-particles in the thrust slide-bearing of scroll compressors. Frictional loss in the thrust slide-bearing occupies a large part of total mechanical loss in scroll compressors. The characteristics of friction and anti-wear using nano-oil is evaluated using a thrust bearing ...

The kinetic (or sliding) friction of pharmaceutical tablets and capsules influences how they will behave during the conveying, coating, and packaging operations that are used for drug product manufacturing. In order to logically design equipment for manufacturing and packaging operations, and to simulate manufacturing and packaging performance (for example, using discrete or finite element mode...
