Leibniz-Institut für Verbundwerkstoffe (IVW) has been active in the research field of fibre composites for more than 30 years, from the concept to the finished part. During this time, it has also been ...

Evaluating tribological properties such as friction coefficients, friction forces, and torques for arbitrary material pairs, with high precision is crucial for multiple areas of research and industry.

You know that two surfaces mate, but what is a friction clutch or brake? Using friction has been the most popular way to engage and stop loads since the 1800s. Surfaces interact with ...

However, they must be suitable for their intended use, regardless of whether they are functional or cosmetic. Their research, development, and quality control processes are heavily reliant on the ...

The Virginia Tech Transportation Institute will use a truck-mounted Sideway-force Coefficient Routine Investigation Machine, or SCRIM, to measure pavement friction and possible slick spots on U.S.

Really, this is the experiment I wanted to start on. How does friction work in Bad Piggies? Let me start with a quick summary of my experiments so far. Scale. For the size of stuff in Bad Piggies, I ...

Robots may soon mimic the human sense of touch, with advances in flexible tactile detection aiming to endow them with the ability to sense friction and slip. Polymer optical fiber knots are at the ...
