Effect of different flooring types on pressure distribution under the bovine claw – an ex vivo study [PDF]
BMC Veterinary Research, 2018 Background Mechanical interactions between hard floorings and the sole of bovine claws can be reasonable to cause traumatic claw lesions. In this ex vivo study, the direct kinetic impact of concrete and three types of rubber mats on the sole of dairy ...

Development of a Portable Device for Surface Traction Characterization at the Shoe–Floor Interface
Surfaces, 2022 Slip and fall accidents are widespread in workplaces and on walkways. Slipping is generally initiated by a sudden change in the flooring properties or due to a low available traction at the shoe–floor interface. To measure shoe-floor traction, mechanical
