AbstractSlippery surfaces are a continuous concern in equine veterinary practice during both treatment and orthopaedic work-ups, especially when horses have to trot on circles. Sliding of the equine foot on the ground with the potential of injury is prevented if the horizontally acting accelerating or decelerating forces on the foot do not exceed maximal friction. Friction can be calculated and therefore anticipated if the coefficient of friction (μ) between the foot of the horse and the particular ground surface is known. Friction between shod and unshod cadaver equine hooves and different ground surfaces (concrete, tarmac and rubber) was determined by pulling the hooves horizontally in a uniform motion. Horizontal forces (Fh) were measured on a force plate and with a portable digital electronic force meter. The coefficient of friction (μ) was calculated as the quotient between Fh and the gravity force (N) of the object, hence: μ = Fh /N. This study has shown that the coefficient of friction between equine hooves and a specific ground surface can be determined using a portable digital force meter or a force plate. Friction significantly depended not only on the type of surface but also on shoeing of the equine foot. Bare feet showed more friction with the hard surfaces (bricks and tarmac), the shod feet showing more friction with the rubber surfaces. Coefficients of friction could be used to estimate the possibility of injuries occurring in the equine industry during exercise and/or lameness or pre-purchase examinations.

Cold Strip Rolling

In a previous paper criteria for maximum possible reduction were developed. A simple procedure for the experimental determination of the coefficient of friction was introduced. In this paper a solution for the efficiency is presented. A term called “Minimum Required Reduction,” which was briefly mentioned earlier [2], is discussed in detail. The results of experimental work for the determination of the coefficient of friction are described. A simple expression for the separation force is given. Finally, a procedure for optimum operation is suggested. The controllable variables are pointed out and the steps in the choice of the optimum conditions are described.

Mathematical and physical methods can be applied for tidal studies. After general considerations on these methods, some practical aspects of tidal computations are discussed, in particular the schematization for tidal computations in case of variable bottom shape in shallow coastal waters. The relation with the coefficient of friction is dealt with. A combined one- and two dimensional tidal computation is considered. Also an example is given of the determination of the coefficient of friction in a very shallow region; the variations, which are found in this practical case are discussed. 1. General considerations on the application of mathematical and physical methods for tidal studies. Tidal problems may be solved by means of mathematical or physical models. Both kinds of models are approximations of the reality; in some respects in a different way.

The Coefficient Of Friction

Abstract An experimental study was made to compare the validities of methods currently used by accident reconstructionists to determine the coefficient of friction between the road and the vehicle tires at the time of an incident. This value could then be used in conjunction with skid mark length and vehicle weight to calculate the prebraking speed of the vehicle. Three automobiles and three trucks with a variety of tires and loadings were used on a variety of pavements. The accuracy and area of applicability of each of four methods for obtaining friction coefficients were determined by relating the prebraking speed calculated from each to the actual speed at the time of brake application. All four methods were satisfactory for automobiles and the pickup truck used, but only two were acceptable for heavy trucks. The most valid coefficients are obtained from skid mark lengths obtained under conditions duplicating those in an incident.
