Lateral force coefficient

Lateral force coefficient The lateral force divided by the vertical load. 

The friction coefficient is lower for the multilayers than for the Fe-N single layer. This is because the multilayers have a smaller grain size than the Fe-N single layer [37]. For multilayers, the forces applied on the tip are complex during the scratching process. The reason why the lateral force increases with the thickness of the Fe-N layer is mainly because the scratch scar increases with the thickness of the Fe-N layer (Fig. 49). It is the same reason why the lateral force of the Fe-N single layer is larger than that of Fe-N multilayers. 

Friction is the resistive force that we experience when we try to slide one object over the surface of another. The coefficient of friction is the ratio of the lateral force required to slide the surfaces past one another relative to the force holding them in contact. Polymers exhibit two coefficients of friction the static coefficient of friction is a measure of the force required to initiate movement, the dynamic coefficient of friction is a measure of the force required to sustain movement at a constant rate. In general, the force required to initiate sliding is somewhat greater than that required to maintain a constant rate of movement. 

AFM studies on the thin ( 50 nm) brush layers demonstrate that the dynamics of supramolecular cross-links contribute to the friction of the soft brush surfaces (Fig. 3.11). When the faster 4a cross-linker is added, both the absolute friction values and the coefficient of friction (COF) drop to 30% of those of the uncross-linked PVP control. When the slower cross-linker 4b is added, however, the absolute friction value and the COF increase dramatically both the COF and the absolute friction values for PVP 4b are more than twice that of PVP alone. The absolute lateral force measured is proportional to the normal force applied this is consistent with the model that the more the tip is pressed into the brush layer the more force it takes to drag it laterally through the brushes. 

The lateral forces depend on temperature at high temperatures the repulsion interactions between particles prevail on the contrary, at low temperatures the attraction interactions prevail, so that there is a temperature at which the repulsion and attraction effects exactly compensate each other. This is the 0-temperature at which the second virial coefficient is equal to zero. It is convenient to consider the macromolecular coil at 0-temperature to be described by expressions for an ideal chain, those demonstrated in Sections 1.1-1.4. However, the old and more recent investigations (Grassberger and Hegger 1996 Yong et al. 1996) demonstrate that the last statement can only be a very convenient approximation. In fact, the concept of 0-temperature appears to be immensely more complex than the above picture (Flory 1953 Grossberg and Khokhlov 1994). 

Calculation of the critical lateral force is more complicated because traditional LFM does not provide us with easy method to translate current units into force ones. There is no way to define the factor of proportionality until calibration algorithm was developed recently by ourselves [8], The required coefficient depends on design of a microscope, adjustment of the optical system, torsion force constant kL of cantilever and tip height lnp. 

Fig. 10 displays the friction coefficient as a function of the n-propanol partial pressure. The friction coefficient is determined from the slope of the lateral force vs. normal load plot. It illustrates that the formation of the n-propanol layer on the silicon oxide surface significantly reduces the friction coefficient. It should be noted that the decreasing friction coefficient trend... 

The ASTM procedure primarily describes measuring the slip resistance of surface to shoe material tested, such as a shoe sole, in terms of static coefficient of friction. The test employs the laboratory-only device named James machine which measures friction between a tested surface and a square pad of leather 3 X 3 in. by 0.25 in. thick. The James machine applies a known constant vertical force to the test pad, and then applies an increasing lateral force until a slip occurs. The test table of the machine moves forward uniformly at a rate of 1 in./s until the piece of leather mounted on a shoe slips and the vertical column of the machine drops. The principal readout of the test procedure is a recording on the chart graph marked with coefficient of friction lines. Hence, the machine provides results directly in values of static coefficient of friction. The test is conducted on three panels of the materials in four mutually perpendicular directions, giving total twelve readings for each material.

Cornering coefficient Lateral force divided by the vertical load at a defined slip angle. Stiffer tread compounds would tend to improve the cornering coefficient. 

In this study the yam pullout test is applied to investigate internal mechanical properties of the plain woven fabrics. In the first step an analytical model was developed, inputs of which employs simple mechanical properties such as the fabric modtrlus, the weave angle, and the fabric deformation angles during the pullout test. This model predicts important mechanical parameters such as the weave angle variations, the yam-to-yam friction coefficient, the normal load in crossovers, the lateral forces, and the opposed yam strain within the fabric. This approach may be extended to other types of the woven fabrics.

The coefficient dy/dT of interfacial tension variation with tranpraatuie is assumed to have a constant valne. It is virtually always negative, a typical value being abont -0.1 mN/m K. According to Equation 6.26, developmrait of a temperature gradient along an interface causes flow to arise having shear stresses that balance the lateral force produced by the interfadal tension gradirait. In terms of the coeffidents A, Equation 6.26 becomes... 

As early as 1996, it was noted that Ti3SiC2 shavings had a graphitic feel to them [4], and this was later confirmed [168] when the friction coefficient, p, of Ti3SiC2 basal planes was measured using lateral force microscopy and shown to be one of the lowest ever reported, at 2-5 x 10. Not only was this value exceptionally low, but it remained very low during up to six months exposure to the atmosphere.
