A specially equipped Volvo VHD 430 totes a Sideway-force Coefficient Routine Investigation Machine (SCRIM) – to evaluate friction on roadways to determine whether highway improvements could reduce ...
In the journal ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces, researchers reported on a series of experiments in which they used an imaging tool —X-ray micro-computed tomography—to take 3-D images of the surface ...
When planes land at airports, small amounts of rubber wear off the tires leaving a rubber residue behind on the runway. Rubber build up on the pavement causes a loss of friction that, if allowed to go ...
Nanotribology is the study of friction, wear, and lubrication at the nanoscale. It focuses on understanding and controlling the interactions between surfaces in relative motion when the contact area ...
