A METHOD FOR THE DETERMINATION OF THE KINETIC FRICTION COEFFICIENT IN FRICTION PAIRS BASED ON DIRECT ACCELERATION MEASUREMENT OF AN OBJECT ON AN INCLINED PLANE

Journal Title: Tribologia - Year 2019, Vol 284, Issue 2

Abstract

The paper presents and experimentally verifies a method for the determination of the kinetic friction coefficient of friction pairs. The method involves a direct acceleration measurement of an object sliding down an inclined plane and the determination of the momentary friction force based on acceleration. The laboratory test rig was presented and the theoretical foundations of the method were discussed in detail. The laboratory experiments were conducted for the following material pairs: steel-cast iron, steel-bronze, and for various inclined plane angles. The experiments results were presented, acceleration vs. time curves were plotted, and friction coefficients were determined. These values were compared to the values known from literature [L. 1–3]. The uncertainly analysis of kinetic friction coefficient determination was conducted. The method effectiveness and accuracy was verified, noting the sources of possible measurement errors and the ways to eliminate them.<br/><br/>
