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

FRICTION AND TRIBOELECTRIFICATION OF EPOXY FLOORINGS FILLED BY ALUMINIUM OXIDE NANOPARTICLES [PDF]
Journal of the Egyptian Society of Tribology, 2013 In the present experiments, friction coefficient and electrostatic charge of epoxy composites filled by nanoparticles of aluminium oxide (Al2O3) sliding against rubber were investigated to develop proper materials to be used as flooring materials of high

Effect of PVC plastisol composition and processing conditions on foam expansion and tear strength [PDF]
Hemijska Industrija, 2014 The quality of vinyl floorings depends mainly on the right control of the formation of poly (vinyl chloride) (PVC) foam structure. Many process parameters influence the cellular structure and final properties of the PVC foam.

Can we use deep learning models to identify the functionality of plastics from space?
International Journal of Applied Earth Observations and Geoinformation, 2023 The function of plastics is an important issue, especially since it determines whether or not they can be recycled. This study presents a two-stage workflow to identify the functions of plastic materials on land surfaces using a deep learning model ...

REDUCING THE SLIP OF RUBBER MATS ON CERAMIC FLOORINGS [PDF]
Journal of the Egyptian Society of Tribology, 2011 Rubber mats are used to eliminate slip and fall. Liquid contaminated ceramic surfaces usually promote slips and occasionally lead to serious accidents indoor and in work places. In this particular case, rubber mats are recommended to adhere to the smooth

FRICTION COEFFICIENT DISPLAYED BY RUBBER SLIDING AGAINST FLOORING TILES [PDF]
Journal of the Egyptian Society of Tribology, 2012 The present work describes the frictional behaviour of ceramic tiles as flooring materials when soft and hard rubbers slide against them. The values of friction coefficient displayed by sliding of rubber against different types of flooring materials ...
