Temperature Dependence of the Static Friction Coefficient of Common Recyclable Polymers

According to the classical adhesion explanation for the phenomenon of friction, the friction coefficient between two surfaces is defined as the ratio between the horizontal friction force exerted on each surface and the perpendicular normal force between each surface. There is a paucity of published investigations into the relationship between the contact temperature of a polymer-nonpolymer physical interface and the resultant static friction coefficient at varying temperatures. This study investigates the relationship between temperature and the static friction coefficients of five recyclable thermoplastic polymers in polymer-aluminum interfaces across a range of temperatures. The results demonstrate a generalizable relationship between the static friction coefficient and the contact temperature of polymer-aluminum interfaces which corresponds to polymer-specific phase-change temperatures.

Experimental investigation of the frictional behavior of single glass fiber filament

Fiber friction behaviors are crucial for understanding the ubiquitous frictional damage phenomena in the manufacturing and service processes of multiscale textile reinforcements. This paper investigates the influence of relative velocity and applied load on the frictional behavior between a solitary glass fiber filament and a metal roller. The results of piecewise regression analysis indicate that the apparent coefficient of friction initially decreases with relative velocity, followed by an increase, and subsequently decreases again until stabilizing at higher velocity. Specifically, the maximum values of the coefficient of static friction are observed within the relative velocity range of 1.26–1.68 mm/s, while that of dynamic friction occurs within the range of 0.84–3.94 mm/s; the coefficient of friction reaches stable values within the relative velocity range of 7.87–15.71 mm/s. Under four different tension conditions, the stable values for the coefficient of static friction are 0.336, 0.308, 0.321, and 0.281, while the coefficient of dynamic friction are 0.291, 0.269, 0.273, and 0.232 respectively. Furthermore, the relationship between the coefficient of friction and the applied load reveals that the coefficient of friction decreases as the load increases. Finally, quantitative investigation reveals a strong coupling characteristic between the velocity dependency and load dependency of the apparent coefficient of friction.

Efecto de las condiciones de superficie en obra sobre el coeficiente de fricción estático de materiales metálicos

Se propone una metodología para cuantificar variaciones del coeficiente de fricción estático µ debido a diferentes condiciones de superficie en obra para materiales metálicos con radio de dureza ρ = 0.5 – 2.9. ρ es definido como la relación entre la dureza del material y la del Acero A36. Para cada material, 7 probetas fueron consideradas en las condiciones de obra “limpia”, “comprada”, “pulida” y “corroída”. Los resultados muestran que respecto a la condición “limpia”, si las superficies se mantienen como compradas, µ puede incrementarse o reducirse hasta el 20%, si las superficies se pulen, µ puede incrementarse hasta el 37% y si las superficies se corroen µ puede incrementarse hasta el 410% para ratas de corrosión entre 90 – 670µm/año. Los resultados también muestran que para superficies limpias y para ρ ≤ 1.7, µ es dependiente de ρ y para ρ > 1.7, µ es aproximadamente constante. Un modelo que predice la variación de µ para las condiciones de superficie en obra consideradas fue propuesto.

Влияние свойств дискового тормоза с термоизолированными узлами трения на коэффициент трения покоя

The article is devoted to analytical determination of dependences of the static idle friction coefficient of a disc brake with thermally insulated friction nodes on influencing factors and experimental confirmation of the final result obtained. The design of the new disc brake provides two friction units, each of which uses materials with different operating temperatures. A characteristic feature of the brake is the thermal insulation of friction units, which allows each pair of friction to provide its own temperature conditions. Carbon and steel are used as friction materials. The characteristics of contact interaction of the working elements of the disc brake are calculated: the dependence of a contour contact area on the radius of curvature of the tops of undulation waves, contour pressures on complex roughness criteria, the integral coefficient of friction of the disc brake with thermally insulated friction nodes on influencing factors. Experimental verification of the obtained results was carried out on a full-scale facility, which allows measuring the forces of static friction under conditions of real forces, pressures and geometry of the contact area. As a result of the study, it was found that the stress strain state of the contact area under conditions of static force interaction corresponds to an elastic unsaturated contact. In this case, when calculating the static friction, the mechanical component of the friction coefficient can be neglected. It has been experimentally confirmed that with the increase in the normal pressing force of the disc brake elements, the coefficient of static friction decreases, which indicates the elastic nature of the interaction of micro-dimensions. Carbon-based friction material is characterized by lower values of the static friction coefficient for all specified values of the clamping force.

Moisture Dependent: Physical Properties of Baobab Seeds (Adansonia digitata L.)

Abstract The research investigated physical properties of baobab seeds to determine suitable equipment for the processing of its seeds. Pods of baobab used in the study were collected at a local farm in Ilorin, North Central Nigeria. Physical properties of the samples, such as moisture contents, mass, axial dimensions, shape indices, true and bulk densities, porosity, angle of repose and surface area were determined. The results showed that physical properties of baobab seeds were stable for moisture content, ranging between 12 to 18% dry mass (dm). The 100 seed mass (g) and geometric mean diameter increased from 0.60 g to 0.62 g and 10.12 to 10.27 mm respectively, in the moisture range of 12 to 18% dm. Other studied ranges of physical properties ranges included: average length (12.22 to 12.63 mm), width (10.10 to 10.28 mm), thickness (8.23 to 8.42 mm,), sphericity, (81.23 to 82.56 mm), surface area (319.42 to 332.53 mm2), 50 seed mass (0.60 and 0.62 g), and 1000 seed mass (12 and 12.4 g) within the moisture content range of 12 to 18% dm. The angle of repose of baobab seeds decreased with an increase in moisture content. The maximum value of 29.18o was obtained at 14% moisture content while a minimum value of 24.42o was obtained at 18% moisture. Moisture content had a significant effect on coefficient of friction of baobab seeds on glass, stainless steel, plywood and rubber. In the same moisture range (12-18%), the static coefficient of friction for baobab seeds ranged from 0-739 to 0-905 on stainless steel, 0-960 to 1-190 on galvanized steel, 0-812 to 1-055 on plywood and 0-496 to 0-950 on glass. The least coefficient of friction values were recorded on stainless steel and glass which implies that baobab seeds will move with lower resistance on these surfaces in post-harvest handling. On the other hand, the resistance will be higher on plywood and glass. The data obtained will serve as guide for agricultural and food engineers, food processors and technicians involved in design and construction of post-harvest equipment used for separating, cleaning, milling and other production processes, to which baobab seeds are subjected.

Bulk density values of 701.43 kg/m3 , 673.30 kg/m3 and 672.86 kg/m3 were obtained in respective order as above. Peel-weight proportion of 2.5%, 2.76% and 1.9% were obtained at 80.6%, 79.4% and 81.4% moisture content (w.b) levels for the sampled weight of Nicola, Bartita and Bawondoya varieties respectively. The frictional parameters results indicate an angle of repose 15⁰ was obtained for both Bartita and Bawondoya varieties while 130 was obtained for Nicola variety. Average values of 0.68, 0.61 and 0.52 were obtained as coefficients of static friction for Bartita, Bawondoya and Nicola varieties respectively.

The results of determining the physico-mechanical properties of the seed pile of fodder crops obtained in the combing clover plants with a comb of the combing drum of the harvesting machine are presented. The basic principles and methods of classical mechanics, mathematical analysis, and statistics were used in this study. It was found that the stiffness of the stems of the seed pile at a humidity of 40-60% is in the range of 0.07-0.008 N / m2. At the same time, with a moisture content of 35-65%, its bulk mass is 80-185 kg/ m3, respectively. The minimum value of the angle of the natural slope of the clover seed pile is 48o, and its maximum value reaches up to 90o; the value of the static friction coefficient at a humidity of 40-60% is within 0.98-1.02, and the value of the dynamic friction coefficient is within 0.5-0.7. The pile's temperature is directly proportional to the storage time; during self-heating, the appearance of the pile gradually changes depending on the storage time and temperature duration.

基礎滑りを利用した木造住宅の最大滑動量と強振動の計測震度の関係

Sliding bases decrease the seismic load to structures. They make both the decrease of the maximum displacement response and the slide displacement of the structure. In this paper, sliding bases are adopted to a Japanese wooden house. Both the demand base shear and the maximum slide displacement of houses are proposed. As a result, the sliding bases with 0.2 static friction coefficient makes that no slide displacement is calculated in rare earthquakes. And the storey displacement angle of the house with 2.0 bearing wall sufficiency ratio is less than 1/120 rad in extremely rare earthquakes. Some observed earthquakes make the slide displacement over 600mm.

On the discontinuous dynamics of a class of 2-DOF frictional vibration systems with asymmetric elastic constraints

<abstract><p>In this paper, the discontinuous dynamic behavior of a two-degree-of-freedom frictional collision system including intermediate elastic collision and unilateral elastic constraints subjected to periodic excitation is studied by using flow switching theory. In this system, given that the motion of each object might have a velocity that is either greater than or less than zero and each object experiences a periodic excitation force that has negative feedback, because the kinetic and static friction coefficients differ, the flow barrier manifests when the object's speed is zero. Based on the discontinuity or nonsmoothness of the oscillator's motion generated by elastic collision and friction, the motion states of the oscillator in the system are divided into 16 cases and the absolute and relative coordinates are used to define various boundaries and domains in the oscillator motion's phase space. On the basis of this, the G-function and system vector fields are used to propose the oscillator motion's switching rules at the displacement and velocity boundaries. Finally, some dynamic behaviors for the 2-DOF oscillator are demonstrated via numerical simulation of the oscillator's stick, grazing, sliding and periodic motions and the scene of sliding bifurcation. The mechanical system's optimization designs with friction and elastic collision will benefit from this investigation's findings.</p></abstract>

In this study, some physicomechanical characteristics of black chickpea grains, which have rich content, were investigated. Dimensional and volumetric properties, colour characteristics, and frictional and mechanical properties were examined within the physicomechanical properties of the grains. Compression tests were carried out for the behaviour of black chickpea against mechanical force, both force and deformation characteristics of black chickpea grains were determined, and they were used at three different loading speeds (30 mm min-1, 50 mm min-1, 70 mm min-1). The size dimension, such as width, length, and thickness values, were found as 6.68 mm, 8.85 mm, and 6.26 mm, and the mass was 0.25 g, respectively. The highest $a^*$ and $b^*$, $L^*$ values were determined as 4.31, -0.27, and 18.87, respectively. The values of the static friction coefficient of the black chickpea grains on different friction surfaces (PVC, galvanized sheet, laminate, plywood, and rubber) were observed on the rubber surface with the highest. In the mechanical test results, the highest force value was found on the 50 mm min-1 width (Y-) axis, and the highest hardness value was found on the thickness (Z-) axis at the 30 mm min-1 loading speed.

基于坍落度试验的湿粘性水田泥浆颗粒离散元参数分析及标定

In order to obtain the discrete element contact parameters of wet and viscous paddy field mud particles, an accurate numerical simulation model was constructed. Firstly,, the paddy field mud with an average particle size of 0.2 mm was taken as the research object, and the basic physical parameters and rheological behavior laws were obtained through physical measurements and rotational rheological tests. Based on the slump test, combined with the particle scaling theory and Johnson-Kendall-Roberts (JKR) model, and the slump and slump-flow values were taken as response values, the Plackett-Burman test, the steepest climb test and the Box-Behnken test were designed by Design-Expert software to complete the simulation parameters calibration. The optimal significance parameters are as follows: 0.096 J/m2 for the JKR surface energy of mud, 0.13 for the mud-mud restitution coefficient and 0.6 for the mud-steel static friction coefficient. Finally, the mud slump and fluidity verification tests showed that the relative errors between the simulation values and the physical values of slump and slump-flow are 1.73% and 0.42%, and the average error of torque is 2.47%, and the parameters are accurate and reliable. The calibration method can accurately construct the discrete element model of wet-viscous particles, which provides basic data and technical guidance for the coupling mechanism of paddy machinery-mud.

Static and dynamic coefficient of friction in friction pairs of disc-pad brakes

Problem This scientific article is devoted to the value of static and dynamic coefficients of friction of disc-pad brakes. The issue of disc-pad brake wear is very acute because the safety of using the machine itself depends on its reliable operation. Therefore, the relevance of the chosen topic cannot be doubted. Goal. The aim is to establish patters of influence of the main operational parameters of friction pairs of a model disc-pad brake on the potential and kinematic coefficient of friction. Methodology. The methods of analytical mechanics and the theory of elasticity were used in the article. Results. Theoretical and experimental studies of the static (former rest) and dynamic coefficients of friction in the frictional interaction of materials FK-24A - steel 35KhNL were carried out on a model disk-shoe brake in a long-term braking mode. At the same time, it was established in the range of real impulse loads implemented during braking in the contact area of the friction lining with the brake disc, the stress-strain state of the contact according to the criterion of micro deformation in the contact corresponds to the elastic-plastic property. The elastic and plastic properties of materials appear when, in each individual case, the total stresses exceed the yield strength or reach its limit. With an increase in the impulse force of the normal pressing of the pad lining to the treadmill of the disc friction, the static coefficient of friction tends to increase, and with an increase in the static coefficient of mutual overlap kvz.s, it tends to decrease with the elastic-plastic property of materials. When choosing materials for friction pairs, the dynamic coefficient of friction must include the value of the static coefficient of friction and be at least 20% greater than the calculated value of the dynamic coefficient of friction. Practical value An increase in the static and dynamic friction coefficient in the friction pairs of a disk-pad brake leads to an increase in the plastic deformation of their microprotrusions. The data obtained can be used in the design of disc-shoe brakes

Determination Method of Core Parameters for the Mechanical Classification Simulation of Thin-Skinned Walnuts

Simulation can be used to visualize the mechanical classification of walnuts. It can collect microscopic information about walnuts in the classification roller and guide its optimization design. In this process, simulation parameters are essential factors that ensure the effectiveness of the simulation. In this study, the crucial parameters of thin-skinned walnut particles in classification simulation were determined by combining the discrete element method (DEM) and physical tests. Firstly, the moisture content, shear modulus, stacking angle, and some contact parameters in the shell and kernel were obtained by drying test, compression test, cylinder lifting test, and physical test of contact parameters, respectively. A walnut model was constructed using reverse modeling technology. Then, the ranges of the rest contact parameters were determined using simulation inversion based on the Generic EDEM Material Model database. Second, the parameters significantly influencing the stacking angle were screened via the Plackett–Burman test using contact parameters as factors and stacking angle as the index. The results revealed that the walnut–walnut static friction coefficient, walnut–walnut rolling friction coefficient, and walnut–steel plate static friction coefficient significantly affect the stacking angle. The steepest ascent experiment produced the optimal value intervals of crucial parameters. Besides, a quadratic regression model of important parameters was built using the Box–Behnken test to achieve the optimal parameter combination. The stacking and classification experiments verified that the stacking angle and morphology are mostly similar under calibration parameters without any considerable differences. The relative error was only 0.068%. Notably, the relative error of the average staying time of walnut in the classification roller was 0.671%, and the dimensionless distribution curves of stay time were consistent. This study provides technological support to the simulation analysis of walnut classification and recommends novel methods and references to determine the parameters of other shell materials.

Simulation and Validation of Discrete Element Parameter Calibration for Fine-Grained Iron Tailings

In order to improve the calculation efficiency of a discrete element EDEM (Discrete Element Method) numerical simulation software for micron particles, the particle model is linearly enlarged. At the same time, the parameters of the amplified particles were calibrated according to the Hertz-Mindlin with JKR (Johnson-Kendall-Roberts) contact model to make the amplified particles have the same particle flow characteristics as the actual particles. Actual tests were utilized to gather the angle of repose of the microfine iron tailings, which was then used as a reference value for response surface studies based on the JKR contact model from six factors connected to the fine iron tailings particles. The Plackett-Burman test was used to identify three parameters that had a significant effect on the rest angle: static friction factor; rolling friction factor; and JKR surface energy. The Box-Behnken experiment was used to establish a second-order regression model of the rest angle, and the significant parameters and the optimized parameters were: surface energy JKR coefficient 0.459; particle-particle static friction coefficient 0.393; and particle-particle dynamic friction coefficient 0.393, with a dynamic friction coefficient between particles of 0.106. By entering the parameters into the discrete element program, the angle of repose generated from the simulations was compared with the real test values, and the error was 1.56%. The contact parameters obtained can be used in the discrete element simulation of the amplified particles of fine-grained iron tailings, providing an EDEM model reference for the numerical simulation of fine-grained iron tailings particles. There is no discernible difference between the actual and simulated angles.

Calibration of DEM models for fertilizer particles based on numerical simulations and granular experiments

The discrete element method (DEM) can accurately predict and describe the motion behavior of granular materials; it has been widely used in related research in all walks of life. However, the material microscopic parameters involved in a simulation are difficult to measure using experimental methods, and the accuracy of the microscopic parameters has a direct impact on the predicted material motion behavior. In this study, a new calibration method was used to calibrate contact parameters commonly used in DEM simulations for fertilizer particles. The angle of repose (AoR) and the bulk height were selected as macroscopic response indicators, and the coefficient of restitution, coefficient of static friction, and coefficient of rolling friction of fertilizer particles were used as the parameters to be calibrated in the study. The input parameters required for the training of the radial basis function neural network (RBFNN) were obtained by combining Latin hypercube sampling with funnel stacking simulations. Finally, a multi-island genetic algorithm (MIGA) was used to optimally solve the approximate model, and comparative experiments and discharge experiments were conducted to validate the model. The results show that the sphericity of the fertilizer particles in the study is 90%, and spherical particles can be used instead in the simulation. Additionally, the approximate model obtained from the RBFNN training has a high model fit to the input and output parameters and a good prediction capability for the macroscopic behavior generated by the input parameters of the fertilizer particles. The result generated from the calibration was a set of data solutions, and the errors were less than 5% after validation of the data. Further experimental validation was done using the discharge experiment, which was consistent with the simulation results, indicating that the calibration results can accurately reflect the macroscopic motion behavior of the fertilizer particles, further illustrating the reliability of the method.

A Hydrodynamic Approach to the Study of HIV Virus-Like Particle (VLP) Tangential Flow Filtration.

Emerging as a promising pathway to HIV vaccines, Virus-Like Particles (VLPs) have drawn considerable attention in recent years. A challenge of working with HIV VLPs in biopharmaceutical processes is their low rigidity, and factors such as shear stress, osmotic pressure and pH variation have to be reduced during their production. In this context, the purification and concentration of VLPs are often achieved by means of Tangential Flow Filtration (TFF) involving ultrafiltration hollow fiber modules. Despite the urgent need for robust upscaling strategies and further process cost reduction, very little attention has been dedicated to the identification of the mechanisms limiting the performance of HIV VLP TFF processes. In this work, for the first time, a hydrodynamic approach based on particle friction was successfully developed as a methodology for both the optimization and the upscaling of HIV VLP TFF. Friction forces acting on near-membrane HIV VLPs are estimated, and the plausibility of the derived static coefficients of friction is discussed. The particle friction-based model seems to be very suitable for the fitting of experimental data related to HIV VLP TFF as well as for upscaling projections. According to our predictions, there is still considerable room for improvement of HIV VLP TFF, and operating this process at slightly higher flow velocities may dramatically enhance the efficiency of VLP purification and concentration. This work offers substantial guidance to membrane scientists during the design of upscaling strategies for HIV VLP TFF.

The clothing fabric and skin interact continuously across the many regions of users′ bodies during wear, which can lead to both physical skin damage and discomfort. Therefore, this investigation aimed to explore the regional differences in skin friction, tactile perception, and sensitivity in both females and males during the skin-textile interaction.

The results revealed there was a significant difference in skin friction, tactile perceptions, and sensitivity across the various body regions. The anterior neck had the highest skin friction in both females and males, and participants generally rated higher texture perception in their anterior aspects compared to posterior and lateral regions. There was no significant difference in skin friction, tactile perception ratings, and sensitivity between females and males. Practitioner summary: This study sought to examine regional variations in skin friction, tactile perception, and sensitivity during the skin-textile interaction. There was a significant difference in skin friction, tactile perceptions, and sensitivity across the various body regions and no significant sex effect on skin friction, tactile perception ratings, and sensitivity.

Experimental Method Research on Non-linear Characteristics of Static Friction Coefficient to Temperature

The temperature difference in the working range of precision instruments is large, and the change in temperature causes the static friction coefficient between the internal assembly contact surfaces to change. The change of the static friction coefficient will cause asymmetric displacement of the contact surface, which will affect the accuracy and stability of the instrument during operation. In order to study the non-linear variation law of the static friction coefficient under different temperature conditions, this paper proposes a method to measure the static friction coefficient at different temperatures accurately and designs and develops the corresponding static friction coefficient measuring device. The static friction coefficient of a typical steel-steel contact surface was measured from 20°C to 80°C using the static friction coefficient measuring device. It was found to be non-linear with increasing temperature, with the average static friction coefficient changing by about 5% at a temperature difference of 60°C. Based on the experimental data, a simulation study on the effect of non-linear variation of static friction coefficient at different temperatures was conducted using a simulated sample of a gyroscope assembly structure, and it was found that the asymmetric deformation of the assembly structure caused by the variation of static friction coefficient will be one of the factors causing the change of gyroscope accuracy stability. This research has important implications for maintaining and optimizing precision instrumentation accuracy stability.

Sliding friction perturbed by shear ultrasound vibrations: dynamic lubrication and overaging.

Reduction of the effective static coefficient of friction by shear ultrasound has been shown recently to be due to the partial lubrication of the solid-solid contact. Here, we study the effect of ultrasound perturbation on a multicontact interface at imposed drivevelocity. We show that, together with the partial lubrication similar to the static case, ultrasound vibrations enhance structural aging and the emergence of stick-slip.
