Really, this is the experiment I wanted to start on. How does friction work in Bad Piggies? Let me start with a quick summary of my experiments so far. Scale. For the size of stuff in Bad Piggies, I ...

Learn how to calculate the coefficient of friction on inclined planes in this physics tutorial. Step-by-step explanations cover the forces, equations, and reasoning you need to solve friction problems ...

Now I get to do something with that force scale I built. I had a request some time ago to talk about friction. Friction is surprisingly complicated. When two surfaces rub against each other, why is ...

Figure 1: Fiber displacement due to insufficient adhesion force (left) and simplified force equilibrium on winding surface (right). Photo Credit, all images: IVW Leibniz-Institut für Verbundwerkstoffe ...

Leibniz-Institut für Verbundwerkstoffe (IVW) has been active in the research field of fibre composites for more than 30 years, from the concept to the finished part. During this time, it has also been ...

You know that two surfaces mate, but what is a friction clutch or brake? Using friction has been the most popular way to engage and stop loads since the 1800s. Surfaces interact with ...
