From the early tribological studies of Leonardo da Vinci to Amontons’ law, friction has been shown to increase with increasing normal load. This trend continues to hold at the nanoscale, where ...

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 ...

This video demonstrates the ASTM D1894 coefficient of friction test on an ADMET eP2 controller. ASTM D1894 is a testing standard employed for determining the friction of plastic film and sheeting.

Tests of a proposed friction-factor equation have shown it to be accurate for calculating pressure loss in turbulent flow for a pipeline transporting a non-Newtonian fluid, such as most crude oils and ...
