A bright orange truck made a few passes along Munger Shaw Road on Friday. It’s called SCRIM, and it’s a road survey machine that tests friction of pavement and surfaces. SCRIM stands for Sideway force ...

The functional lifetime of a wet clutch can be characterized using wear characteristics such as velocity dependence of the coefficient of friction (COF) and friction curves. Current market trends ...

Paris Transport Authority (RATP) has teamed with Wabtec Corp. to test “Green Friction” technology for brakes in an aim to improve tunnel air quality. Wabtec says Green Friction reduces micro-particle ...

In automatic transmissions a smooth clutch operation is related to the velocity dependence of the coefficient of friction (COF). Although JASO M348 and other full-scale clutch tests, or other ...

“Dragging” ultracold ions across an optical lattice has provided important insights into friction. By tweaking the distance between the ions, Alexei Bylinskii, Dorian Gangloff and Vladan Vuletić of ...

Friction can be a car’s best friend on a slippery road. If the road is too slippery the tyres slide or skid. Local authorities monitor roads to make sure they are not too slippery. They measure the ...

The Airports Authority of India (AAI), on Monday, conducted a runway friction test at the Kalaburagi Airport as part of the ongoing runway re-carpeting project. The test was conducted using a ...

Kolkata: Flight safety at city airport received a boost on Friday with the introduction of a runway friction test vehicle. Runway friction testing is a critical aspect of airport runway maintenance ...
