The friction behavior of human skin is determined by the complex interplay of the material and surface properties of the skin, as well as the contacting material, and strongly depends on the contact parameters (e.g., pressure and sliding velocity) and the presence of substances such as water, sweat, or skin surface lipids at the interface. Including a study on the effect of a surface's physical roughness for skin sliding over the surface, various studies have been conducted to understand human tactile sensibility. However, to investigate products in relation to human tactile sensibility, more objective research is needed. This study performed sliding experiments between the skin and the surfaces of phone cases to understand how the texture, friction, and stick-slip characteristics are related. Eight phone case surfaces with different topologies and chemical (or mechanical) compatibilities with skin were prepared and tested multiple times.

Earthquake response of mid-rise to high-rise buildings provided with friction dampers is investigated. The steel buildings are modelled as shear-type structures and the investigation involved modelling of the structures of varying heights ranging from five storeys to twenty storeys, in steps of five storeys, subjected to real earthquake ground motions. Three basic types of structures considered in the study are: moment resisting frame (MRF), braced frame (BF), and friction damper frame (FDF). Mathematical modelling of the friction dampers involved simulation of the two distinct phases namely, the stick phase and the slip phase. Dynamic time history analyses are carried out to study the variation of the top floor acceleration, top floor displacement, storey shear, and base-shear. Further, energy plots are obtained to investigate the energy dissipation by the friction dampers. It is seen that substantial earthquake response reduction is achieved with the provision of the friction dampers in the mid-rise and high-rise buildings. The provision of the friction dampers always reduces the base-shear. It is also seen from the fast Fourier transform (FFT) of the top floor acceleration that there is substantial reduction in the peak response; however, the higher frequency content in the response has increased. For the structures considered, the top floor displacements are lesser in the FDF than in the MRF; however, the top floor displacements are marginally larger in the FDF than in the BF.

최근 암반구조물의 규모가 점차 대형.대단면화됨에 따라 암반 절리면이 자유면에 노출되는 경우가 빈번하게 발생할 수 있으며 지진, 발파와 같은 외부 동적 하중의 영향을 받을 가능성이 커지고 있으므로 다양한 동적 하중조건 하에서 암반 불연속면의 거동 특성 파악을 위한 연구의 필요성이 증대되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 전단속도의 변화에 따른 편평한 화강암 전단면의 마찰특성 변화를 알아보고자 다양한 조건하에서 직접전단시험을 수행하였다. 수행한 직접전단시험은 크게 두 가지로 나눌 수 있는데 첫 번째 시험에서는 시험이 수행되는 동안 각각 7가지의 일정한 전단속도로 전단변위가 발생되도록 하여 전단속도에 따른 마찰계수의 변화를 살펴보았으며, 두 번째 시험에서는 전단변위가 발생되는 중간에3가지 형태의 순간적인 전단속도 변화가 마찰특성에 미치는 영향을 살펴보았다. 수직응력과 전단속도의 변화에 따른 편평한 화강암의 마찰계수 변화는 가해진 수직응력 수준에 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났으며, 전단속도의 변화가 마찰거동에 영향을 미치기 시작하는 전이속도는 수직응력이 증가함에 따라 낮아지는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 전단속도가 느릴수록 stick-slip 거동에서의 응력 저하 폭이 커지는 경향을 보였다. 순간적인 전단속도 변화에 따른 정상 상태에서의 마찰계수 변화를 살펴본 결과 순간적인 속도의 증가에 따라 마찰계수가 감소하는 속도 연화 현상이 나타났으며, 느린 전단속도에서 전단속도의 변화에 따른 마찰계수의 감소폭이 빠른 전단속도에서의 변화에 따른 감소폭보다 더 큰 경향을 보였다.

Mold level control has been a major control task for continuous casting plants. The system involves nonlinearities such as stick-slip friction in the sliding gate, time-delay, friction force variations between molten steel and the inner wall of mold, and nozzle logging/unclogging. These complex problems should be solved to control mold level for steel cast. In this paper, we propose a neural fuzzy mold level control technique for solving these complex problems and give experiment studies to show the mold level control in continuous casting process.

The main topic covered in this paper is that of the impact process, that is, where two bodies come into contact and rebound or stick together. This paper presents how to determine the rebound velocities of a microparticle that approaches a surface with arbitrary initial velocities and relate the impact process to the physical properties of the materials and to the adhesion force. Actual adhesion forces demonstrate a significant amount of energy dissipation in the form of hysteresis, and act generally in a normal to the contact surfaces. Microparticles must also contend with forces tangent to the contact surfaces, namely Coulomb dry friction. The developed model has an algebraic form based on the principle of impulse and momentum and hypothesis of energy dissipation. Finally, several analyses are carried out in order to estimate impact parameters and the developed analytical model is validated using experimental results.

This paper represents an ultra precision rotational device where the smooth impact drive mechanism (SIDM) is utilized as driving mechanism. Linear motions of piezoelectric elements are converted to the rotational motion of disk by frictional forces generated between the rotational disk and the friction part that is attached to the piezoelectric element. This device was designed to drive the rotational disk using slip-slip motion mechanism instead of stick-slip motion mechanism occurred in conventional impact drive mechanism. Experimental results show that the angular velocity is increased in proportion to the magnitude and frequency of supplied voltage to piezoelectric element and decreased as the preload is increased. In our device, the smooth rotational motion was obtained when the driving frequency has been reached to 500Hz under the driving voltage of 100V.

Tribological behavior of NAO type brake linings containing different volume ratios of graphite and Sb$_2$S$_3$ was investigated using a scale dynamometer. Three different test modes consisting of stop, drag, and fade tests were employed to elucidate the effect of the solid lubricants on brake performance. Results of this work showed that the two solid lubricants, graphite and Sb$_2$S$_3$, significantly affected friction characteristics at various braking situations. Compared with the brake linings containing a single lubricant, the brake linings containing both solid lubricants showed better friction stability due to the synergistic effect of the two disparate lubricants during the stop and the drag test. In particular, in the case of containing two solid lubricants, the brake lining with higher contents of graphite showed better fade resistance than others.

We reviewed controllers with a time delay estimation in this paper. Time delay control (TDC) and sliding mode control (SMC) are well known robust control schemes. Basically, the TDC has a main characteristic called a time delay estimation from which we can estimate the total uncertainty of a system. . The TDC causes the stick-slip in the case of systems with a friction. The so-called TDCSA which are short for TDC with switching action was developed to reduce the stick-slip. The TDC has the additional switching action term in the TDC structure. In the other hand, the SMC dose not have a time delay estimation but instead it can estimate the system uncertainty through the switching action. The SMC has a difficulty to estimate the total uncertainty of a system because it does not have a time delay estimation. In order to solve the difficulty, some control schemes were developed. Among them, we need to focus our attention on two control schemes: SMCPE and SMCTE, which are short for sliding mode control with a perturbation estimation and sliding mode control with a time delay estimation, respectively. In this paper, we analyzed and compared the characteristic of above three controllers. Even though the motives for the development of three control schemes are different, three control schemes have much in common in terms of their controller structures.

Glazed curtain walls are façade systems frequently chosen in modern architecture for mid and high-rise buildings. From recent earthquakes surveys it is observed the large occurrence of non-structural components failure, such as storefronts and curtain walls, which causes sensitive economic losses and represents an hazard for occupants and pedestrians safety. In the present study, the behavior of curtain wall stick systems under seismic actions has been investigated through experimental in-plane racking tests conducted at the laboratory of the Construction Technologies Institute (ITC) of the Italian National Research Council (CNR) on two full-scale aluminium/glass curtain wall test units. A finite element model has been calibrated according to experimental results in order to simulate the behavior of such components under seismic excitation. The numerical model investigates the influence of the interaction between glass panels and aluminium frame, the gasket friction and the stiffness degradation of aluminium-to-glass connections due to the high deformation level on the curtain walls behavior. This study aims to give a practical support to researchers and/or professionals who intend to numerically predict the lateral behavior of similar façade systems, so as to avoid or reduce the need of performing expensive experimental tests.
