The
static coefficient of friction strongly depends on the normal load, material properties, local interfacial strength and roughness parameters [22].
Thus, a more complex model is necessary for considering both static friction and dynamic friction (the
static coefficient of friction being greater than the dynamic coefficient of friction [19]).
The
static coefficient of friction measured by ASTM D1894 was used as one method to measure the difference of the neat copolyesters and the optimized copolyesters/MD6951 blends.
For the simulation the
static coefficient of friction was increased from 0.13 to 0.16.
Its value is divided by the mass of the block, which is the force pushing the block and panel together, to give the
static coefficient of friction, SCOF.
The threshold representing the smallest delta between the two measurements has been dubbed by RTP tribologists the "Glide Factor." Tests showed that the optimal friction pairings exhibited low
static coefficient of friction ([less than or equal to] 0.15) and a Glide Factor of [less than or equal to] 0.015.
The
static coefficient of friction of briquettes was investigated with respect to four test surfaces, namely, galvanised steel, rubber, plywood sheet, and aluminium sheet.
This polymer may provide an outer surface having a
static coefficient of friction of about 0.38, a kinetic coefficient of friction of about 0.29, and a good surface gloss.
The initial peak force provides the
static coefficient of friction, and the subsequent average force provides the dynamic coefficient of friction.
A constant
static coefficient of friction was used to establish contact properties at the interfaces.
