Sliding friction on ice and snow is characteristically low at temperatures common on Earth’s surface. This slipperiness underlies efficient sleds, winter sports, and the need for specialized tires. Friction can also play micro-mechanical role affecting ice compressive and crushing strengths. Researchers have proposed several mechanisms thought to govern ice and snow friction, but directly validating the underlying mechanics has been difficult. This may be changing, as instruments capable of micro-scale measurements and imaging are now being brought to bear on friction studies. Nevertheless, given the broad regimes of practical interest (interaction length, temperature, speed, pressure, slider properties, etc.), it may be unrealistic to expect that a single mechanism accounts for why ice and snow are slippery. Because bulk ice, and the ice grains that constitute snow, are solids near their melting point at terrestrial temperatures, most research has focused on whether a lubricating water film forms at the interface with a slider. However, ice is extremely brittle, and dry-contact abrasion and wear at the front of sliders could prevent or delay a transition to lubricated contact. Also, water is a poor lubricant, and lubricating films thick enough to separate surface asperities may not form for many systems of interest. This article aims to assess our knowledge of the mechanics underlying ice and snow friction.

Also, water is a poor lubricant, and lubricating films thick enough to separate surface asperities may not form for many systems of interest. This article aims to assess our knowledge of the mechanics underlying ice and snow friction. We begin with a brief summary of the mechanical behavior of ice and snow substrates, behavior which perhaps has not received sufficient attention in friction studies. We then assess the strengths and weaknesses of five ice- and snow-friction hypotheses: pressure-melting, self-lubrication, quasi-liquid layers, abrasion, and ice-rich slurries. We discuss their assumptions and review evidence to determine whether they are consistent with the postulated mechanics. Lastly, we identify key issues that warrant additional research to resolve the specific mechanics and the transitions between them that control ice and snow friction across regimes of practical interest.

Abstract This paper describes experimental and analytical studies of the dependence of tire friction on the surface roughness of pavement. Abrasive papers were adopted as representative of the microscopic surface roughness of pavement surfaces. The rolling∕sliding friction of tire tread rubber against these abrasive papers were measured at low slip velocities. Experimental results indicated that rolling∕sliding frictional characteristics depended on the surface roughness. In order to examine the interfacial phenomena between rubber and the abrasive papers, real contact length, partial slip, and apparent friction coefficient under vertical load and tangential force were analyzed with two-dimensional explicit finite element analysis in which slip-velocity-dependent frictional coefficients were considered. Finite element method results indicated that the sum of real contact area and local partial slip were larger for finer surfaces under the same normal and tangential forces. In addition, the velocity-dependent friction enhanced local slip, where the dependence of local slip on surface roughness was pronounced. It proved that rolling∕sliding friction at low slip ratio was affected by local frictional behavior at microslip regions at asperity contacts.

The problems of changes in the coating structure depending on the composition of the sprayed mechanical mixture using copper particles and mixture of copper and zinc particles (" brass") and the effect of structural factors on the tribological properties of the deposited metal layer are considered. The results of X-ray structural, phase, chemical and durometric analyzes, as well as tribological testing of coatings are presented. It is found that structure with hardness of ≈102.7 HV is formed in the coating from mechanical mixture of particles of copper and aluminum oxide (corundum). Numerous pores are observed in the structure of the deposited metal layer, the main size of which does not exceed 2 μm. In the coating from mechanical mixture of particles copper, zinc and aluminum oxide (corundum), structure is formed based on copper with hardness of ≈106.5 HV, zinc — ≈49.7 HV, intermetallic compounds (γ- and ε-phases) — ≈168.7 HV, the mass fraction of which is 62.0, 7.9 and 24.2 %, respectively. Both coatings can be used in sliding friction pairs.
