Schnurmann 1 has shown that the results of measurements of static friction on naked cadmium surfaces at temperatures down to — 100° C. indicate that abrasion cannot be the only factor ...

Picture yourself at a busy pedestrian crossing. When the light is red, everyone waits—until one person starts to cross. Soon, ...

In relation to safety aspects standardisation bodies rather concentrate on slippery than on dull floors. Thus, sliding friction coefficients from 0.4 to 0.6 (DIN 18032) are recommended. Biomechanical ...
