On the calculation of a dry friction coefficient [PDF]
AbstractNormal contact problems of rough surfaces have already been extensively investigated. For Gaussian surfaces, the normal force Fn is often found to be proportional to the real contact area A. Following the approach of Bowden and Tabor [1] for the tangential force Ft = τA, where τ denotes the yield shear stress of the softer surface, the friction

A Numerical Implementation of the Soret Effect in Drying Processes [PDF]
Drying of porous media is strictly governed by heat and mass transfer. However, contrary to the definition that drying is simultaneous transport mechanisms of heat and mass, most past and current models either account for temperature or concentration ...
