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 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 ...

This study investigated the concrete-to-concrete friction behavior under dynamic cyclic loading at different loading rates, vertical loads, and surface roughness. The present work answers essential ...

This video demonstrates Admet’s ASTM D1894 COF (coefficient of friction) test. ASTM D1894 is a testing standard employed for determining the friction of plastic film and sheeting. Using this test, the ...

Friction is the enemy of all things mechanical, and without regular maintenance, machinery service life becomes severely reduced until, ultimately, the machines cease to function. Anyone who owns a ...

A team of microsystems engineers at Université de Lyon, École Centrale de Lyon has developed a method to create a desired amount of friction between two flat surfaces without resorting to math. Their ...
