During an earthquake, friction is a key control on the initiation, propagation and termination of fault motion. Laboratory experiments that use variable slip rates suggest that friction evolves in a ...

A new portable, space-saving bench system has been designed for accurate measurement of friction pressure in slick water ...

A popular brand of angel hair pasta is helping researchers experimentally to understand the friction forces that occur in an earthquake fault and providing better information than current numerical ...

LOS ALAMOS, N.M., Oct. 10, 2022 — An artificial-intelligence approach borrowed from natural-language processing — much like language translation and autofill for text on your smart phone — can predict ...

At subduction zones, the level of friction on the deep part of the plate boundary fault controls stress accumulation and release, which govern the transfer of stress to the shallower, locked part of ...

Safety mechanisms designed to handle rare events can become unreliable under sustained or intense fault conditions.

In automatic transmissions a smooth clutch operation is related to the velocity dependence of the coefficient of friction (COF). Although JASO M348 and other full-scale clutch tests, or other ...

The functional lifetime of a wet clutch can be characterized using wear characteristics such as velocity dependence of the coefficient of friction (COF) and friction curves. Current market trends ...

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 ...
