coefficient of friction

Comparison of the maximum acceleration of a passenger car on selected pavements in wintertime

In winter, kinematic characteristics of motion are determined by varying external conditions and environmental conditions that affect the coefficient of friction. External factors affect the contact area with the road wheels in two ways: by changing the properties of the surface and affecting the mechanical properties of the tire itself. Change of tire-surface interaction parameters causes a decrease in obtained acceleration and consequently extending the braking distance of the vehicle.

Practical examination of longitudal acceleration in the racing car in the aspect of ground adhesion of bituminous surface

This work concerns problems connected with race car's behavior permitted to traffic motion on dry asphalt surface during braking and rapid acceleration . The characteristics of the vehicle is presented with particular reference to type of tires. Environmental characteristics and road surface were made. The result of the research and analysis are kinematic characteristics of the particular features of the vehicle enabling assessment the probable risk both for diver and other road users.

The Influence of the Ratio Between Kinetic and Static Frictional Coefficients on the Conveying Velocity With Elliptical Oscillations

The influence of the ratio between kinetic and static frictional coefficients on the dimensionless velocity coefficient is considered for non-jumping vibratory conveying modes with elliptical oscillations. It is shown that with decreasing of this ratio the value of velocity coefficient decreases. This decreasing is less essential with the track inclination angle increasing and it almost disappears with the extreme inclination angles.
