English chemist John Walker accidentally invented the friction match, changing how we light fires forever. But his story is ...

For the first time, ETH Zurich Materials Scientists have measured the rolling friction of microscopic, micrometer-sized particles. These measures allow them to better understand common items like ...

Previously, such measurements could only be carried out on a macroscopic scale. The researchers derived friction coefficients from the measurements, which are now being incorporated into computer ...

This study aims to develop a FEM model to analyze brake squeal, focusing on variations in friction coefficients in solid and ventilated disc brakes for cars, motorcycles, and trains, as well as drum ...

Explore the benefits, performance, and key properties of ceramic brake pads to find out if they are the right choice for your ...
