Réfrigération Résumé : Understanding the tribological interactions between shoe and floor materials is important in order to enhance shoe and floor design and to prevent slip and fall accidents during walking. In the present investigation, experiments were conducted using a custom developed pin-on-disk type tribometer to understand the influence of boundary and hydrodynamic properties on the shoe-floor materials' coefficient of friction. Specifically, polyurethane shoe material was slid against vinyl floor material in the presence of varying lubricants (i.e., water, detergent, three diluted glycerol concentrations, and canola oil). The experiments were conducted for a range of biologically relevant sliding velocities from 0.05 m sec−1 to 1.0 m sec−1 at a contact pressure of 266.1 kPa under ambient conditions. The fluid chemical composition appeared to affect the boundary friction coefficient with longer-chain molecules resulting in a decreased coefficient of friction. As fluid viscosity increased, the rate of coefficient of friction decay increased with respect to increasing fluid entrainment velocity, suggesting less material contact and increased film thickness. The nondimensional film thickness under all conditions was calculated and the nondimensional film thickness consistently increased with increased viscosity and speed. Additionally, the effect of functionally achievable variations in polyurethane shoe roughness on the coefficient of friction was examined and found to have no statistically significant effect on boundary or hydrodynamic contributions to the coefficient of friction.

Influence of inclination angle and machining direction on friction and transfer layer formation / Pradeep L. Menezes in Transactions of the ASME . Journal of tribology, Vol. 133 N° 1 (Janvier 2011)

Sliding experiments were then conducted with the prepared steel plates using Al–Mg alloy pins and an inclined pin-on-plate sliding tester. The goals of the experiments were to ascertain the influence of inclination angle and grinding mark direction on friction and transfer layer formation during sliding contact. The inclination angle of the plate was held at 0.2 deg, 0.6 deg, 1 deg, 1.4 deg, 1.8 deg, 2.2 deg, and 2.6 deg in the tests. The pins were slid both perpendicular and parallel to the grinding marks direction. The experiments were conducted under both dry and lubricated conditions on each plate in an ambient environment. Results showed that the coefficient of friction and the formation of transfer layer depend on the grinding marks direction and inclination angle of the hard surfaces. For a given inclination angle, under both dry and lubricated conditions, the coefficient of friction and transfer layer formation were found to be greater when the pins slid perpendicular to the unidirectional grinding marks than when the pins slid parallel to the grinding marks. In addition, a stick-slip phenomenon was observed under lubricated conditions at the highest inclination angle for sliding perpendicular to the grinding marks direction. This phenomenon could be attributed to the extent of plane strain conditions taking place at the asperity level during sliding.
