Abstract: Frictional characteristic of three kinds of polymeric material was studied by Mark II slipmeter under the condition of different couple materials and test conditions in order to understand the frictional mechanism of people’s walking deeply and decrease the probability of accidents caused by slips and falls. The results indicate that test conditions and couple materials influent friction characteristic of polymeric materials but the influence of test conditions is more significant. In the three test conditions, the friction coefficient of dry condition is highest and that of oil condition is lowest. The friction coefficient of polymeric materials on different floor samples had different trend indicated that there was interaction between shoe sole samples and floor samples.

Abstract: A novel model of steady-state sliding wear with electrical current was created, which gives an accurate relational expression of three factors (electrical current, sliding velocity and contact pressure) and wear rate of the pin material. The experiments were carried out on the couple of QCr0.5 against copper-based powder metallurgical materials. The results show that the model is accurate and it is able to clearly show the influence of electrical current, sliding velocity and contact pressure on wear rate of pin.
