Investigation of Vibration Induced by Sliding Down an Ice Plane

摘要

Many studies use an inclined ice plane to determine the effect of different materials and processing conditions on sliding over an ice surface. Experiments measure the sliding time at different stages on the track to determine the sliding speed and the coefficient-of-friction. Here, the sliding body vibrations and the oscillations in axial directions are addressed. In this paper, the acceleration of sample is measured by attaching a portable high sensitivity 1.25 g USB accelerometer, and the obtained data is compared with 3D CAM modeling results to identify the causes for interrupted sliding.
