Effect of potato contact parameters on seed metering performance using discrete element method
Aim of study: To study the effect of potato surface with or without sandy loam soil on seed metering performance, we investigated the motion behaviour of the potato seed particles during the seed metering process using a self-designed across-bridge ...

Effect of Friction on Dense Suspension Flows of Hard Particles
We use numerical simulations to study the effect of particle friction on suspension flows of non-Brownian hard particles. By systematically varying the microscopic friction coefficient $\mu_p$ and the viscous number $J$, we build a phase diagram that ...

Friction analysis of kinetic schemes: the friction coefficient [PDF]
Friction analysis is proposed as the application of general control analysis to single enzymes to describe the control of elementary kinetic steps on the overall catalytic rate. For each transition, a friction coefficient is defined that measures the sensitivity of the turnover rate to the free energy of the transition state complex of the transition ...

Force autocorrelation function in linear response theory and the origin of friction
Vanishing of the equilibrium Green-Kubo fluctuation expression for the friction coefficient of a massive particle moving in a finite-volume liquid is usually interpreted as an unphysical consequence of the finite volume. Here I show that it is a physical

Numerical and analytical modeling of orthogonal cutting : The link between local variables and global contact characteristics [PDF]
The response of the tool–chip interface is characterized in the orthogonal cutting process by numerical and analytical means and compared to experimental results. We study the link between local parameters (chip temperature, sliding friction coefficient,

The dependence of the dry friction threshold on rupture dynamics
The static friction coefficient between two materials is considered to be a material constant. We present experiments demonstrating that the ratio of shear to normal force needed to move contacting blocks can, instead, vary systematically with ...

Magnetic non-contact friction from domain wall dynamics actuated by oscillatory mechanical motion [PDF]
Magnetic friction is a form of non-contact friction arising from the dissipation of energy in a magnet due to spin reorientation in a magnetic field.
