  1. Friction Don’t rub me the wrong way!

  2. Kinds of friction • Static • Exists between two surfaces that are NOT moving relative to each other • Kinetic • Exists between two surfaces that ARE moving relative to each other • In MOST instances…. • Static friction is greater than kinetic friction

  3. Proportional to the Normal Force • Ff= μs FN : Magnitude of frictional force due to static friction • Static Coefficient of Friction - μs • Ff= μkFN : Magnitude of frictional force due to kinetic friction • Kinetic Coefficient of Friction - μk μ – “mu” – small Greek letter M - symbol for coefficient of friction

  4. Tribology • Contact Mechanicsof Moving Interfaces • Generally involves energy dissipation • Also encompasses the science fields of: • Adhesion • Friction • Lubrication • Wear

  5. Friction Theory • Surface imperfections • Inter-particle attractions • Other?
