This is sufficient for most practical applications where certain constraints on the friction coefficient values apply. Moreover, none of the existing models is capable of describing the behavior of ...

February 3, 2009 Now here's a good idea! Zardoz has introduced Teflon-infused hard waxes for skiers and snowboarders which reduce friction between the ski or snowboard base and the snow.

Julien Scheibert and colleagues at the University of Lyon used simple and easily-adjustable metasurfaces to create specific coefficients of friction at the interface between glass and elastomer ...

In relation to safety aspects standardisation bodies rather concentrate on slippery than on dull floors. Thus, sliding friction coefficients from 0.4 to 0.6 (DIN 18032) are recommended. Biomechanical ...
