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 ...

SAN ANTONIO — March 6, 2023 —A Southwest Research Institute team has developed a mechanical testing device to analyze fluids and lubricants formulated for electric vehicles. The team modified a ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

When planes land at airports, small amounts of rubber wear off the tires leaving a rubber residue behind on the runway. Rubber build up on the pavement causes a loss of friction that, if allowed to go ...
