Friction coefficient factors contributing

In this respect, another insufficiency of Lodge s treatment is more serious, viz. the lack of specification of the relaxation times, which occur in his equations. In this connection, it is hoped that the present paper can contribute to a proper valuation of the ideas of Bueche (13), Ferry (14), and Peticolas (13). These authors adapted the dilute solution theory of Rouse (16) by introducing effective parameters, viz. an effective friction factor or an effective friction coefficient. The advantage of such a treatment is evident The set of relaxation times, explicitly given for the normal modes of motion of separate molecules in dilute solution, is also used for concentrated systems after the application of some modification. Experimental evidence for the validity of this procedure can, in principle, be obtained by comparing dynamic measurements, as obtained on dilute and concentrated systems. In the present report, flow birefringence measurements are used for the same purpose. 

The use of effective friction coefficient Qe for M > Mc implies that all relaxation times contributing essentially to the zero shear viscosity [cf. eq. (3.37)], are increased by the same factor Qe. One can also say that for M > M friction factor f is replaced by an effective friction factor CQe-... 

It is also called the Darcy-Weisbach friction factor, named after the Frenchman Henry Darcy (1803-1858) and the German Julius Weisbach (1806-1871), the two engineers who provided the greatest contribution in its development. It should not be confused with the friction coefficient Cf [also... 

Traditionally it is assumed that the temperature dependences of the retardation times of all viscoelastic modes or mechanisms of polymers are proportional to one and the same monomeric friction coefficient Co (Ferry, 1980 Mark et al., 2004 Plazek and Berry, 1986 Doi and Edwards, 1986). For rubber networks, the viscoelastic modes include those with shorter retardation times responsible for volume change and the glass temperature, and the longer retardation times of polymer strands between crosslinks contributing to rubbery deformation and Jg. Thus, the retardation times X(T) of all the viscoelastic modes contributing to Jp(t) at any temperature Tare related to that at a chosen reference temperature To by the same multiplicative factor given by... 

Friction Coefficients for Selected Materials. The friction coefficient between solids sliding, or about to slide, over one another under the influence of a nonzero normal force is a function of several factors whose relative contributions vary on a case-by-case basis ... 

An additional complexity is that as the particle is moving, it is solvated , i.e. it incorporates molecules from the dispersion medium, e.g. water (hydration). The friction coefficient is affected by both nonsphericity and solvation. Separate evaluation of the contribution of asymmetry and hydration (solvation) is often difficult, but an assessment of the joint effect of these two factors is shown for one specific case in Figure 8.5 for proteins in water. 

There are two major factors contributing to the high values of the friction coefficient near the pitch point... 

The other factor is that the local contact pressure is higher near to the pitch point (in this type of gears), because the contacting load is supported by a single pair of teeth, that naturally contributes to a higher friction coefficient. 

Humidity is another factor that affects the friction coefficient between fibers. Figure 19.5 shows the effect of relative humidity (% RH) on the friction coefficient between fibers. With increase in relative humidity, the frietion coefficient between fibers increases. One possible reason for inereased friction coefficients at higher relative humidities is that water molecules penetrate the contact points and increase the contact areas. In addition, while sliding the fibers at high relative humidities, the shear of the water surface also may contribute to the increased friction coefficient... 

The overall elements that contribute to the limiting of the PV factor are magnitude of pressure, speed of rotation, coefficient of friction of mating materials, lubrication, clearance between bearing and shaft, surrounding temperature, and surface finish, as well as hardness of the mating materials. Bearing wall thickness is also an element in the PV factor since it determines the heat dissipation. 

The solids contribution to the pressure drop, APls, is a consequence of both the particle-wall and particle-particle interactions. The latter is reflected in the dependence of the friction factor fs on the particle diameter, drag coefficient, density, and relative (slip) velocity by (Hinkel, 1953) ... 

Another novelty is the abrasion resistant material composition option that confers much improve abrasion resistance and somewhat lower coefficient of friction. The mechanical drive tape will also transfer tension and compressive forces when used in non-linear directions. Contributing factors are not only the tape s axial stiffness, providing the push and pull, but also its torsional and edge-bend flexibility.
