    Unreferenced date April 2007 Image ropeburn.jpg thumb Friction burn caused by a rope. Image Thirddegreefrictionburn.jpg thumb Friction burn caused by a treadmill. Example of a third degree friction burn A friction burn is a form of abrasion medical abrasion caused by friction when a person s skin rubs against a surface. It may also be referred to as skinning , wikt chafe chafing , or called by the surface which caused the burn e.g., rope burn or carpet burn . As friction also generates heat , extreme cases of chafing may result in genuine burning of the outer layers of skin. The dermal papillae may be exposed after top layers of the dermis stratum corneum , stratum granulosum , stratum spinosum and stratum basale have been removed. This is often uncomfortable and even painful, but rarely results in bleeding . A person s own skin or the skin of another person may be sufficient to act as an abrasive surface to cause friction burn. More commonly, friction with abrasive surfaces, including clothing, carpet, or rope, can lead to a friction burn. Common places at which skin to skin chafing can occur are between the thighs and under the armpits. A risk of friction burns is infection . Treatments Treatments for friction burns usually involve application of an anti inflammatory cream. Pain relieving medication may also be taken. One of the underlying factors behind abdominal chafing inguinal friction may be obesity, and weight loss may be indicated as a preventive measure.

  1. Boundary friction

    Boundary friction occurs when a surface is at least partially wet, but not so lubricated that there is no direct friction between two surfaces ref http www.answers.com topic boundary friction Boundary Friction ref . The Effect When two consistent, unlubricated surfaces slide against each other, there is a specific, predictable amount of friction that occurs. This amount increases as velocity does, but only up to a certain point. That increase generally follows what is known as a Stribeck curve , after Richard Stribeck . On the other hand, if the two surfaces are completely lubricated, there is no direct friction or rubbing at all. In real life, though, there is often a situation where the surfaces are not completely dry, but also not so lubricated that they don t touch. This boundary friction produces various effects, like an increase in lubrication through the generation of shearing force s, or an oscillation effect during motion, as the friction increases and decreases ref http adsabs.harvard.edu abs 1947RSPSA.189...88B Kinetic Boundary Friction ref . For example, one can experience vibration when trying to break on a partially damp road, or a cold glass that is slowly condensing moisture can be lifted until it spontaneously slides across the surface it s resting on.

  1. Split friction

    unreferenced date June 2009 Split friction or mu split is a special road safety problem that occurs when the friction significantly differs between the left and the right wheelpath. The road may then not be perceived as hazardous when accelerating, cruising or even braking softly. But in a case of hard emergency braking, the car will start to rotate over the wheelpath offering highest grip. Split friction may cause jack knifing of articulated trucks, while trucks with towed trailers may experience trailer swing phenomena. Split friction may be caused by an improper road spot repair that results in high variance of texture roads and colour thin ice on newly paved black spots thaws faster than ice on old greyish asphalt across the road section. To some extent, the risk for Split friction can be measured with a road profilograph , scanning the pavement texture in both the left and right wheel paths.

The large black Vector geometric vector arrow represents the primary force acting on the bar the thick black wikt line line , causing it to rotate around the gray dot at its opposite end which represents an axle . The large red vector arrow represents the torque caused by the primary force. The small black vector arrow represents the Friction frictional force caused by the bar sliding across the second bar grey . Friction torque is the torque caused by the Friction frictional force that occurs when two objects in contact move. Like all torques, it is a rotational force which may be measured newton metre s or pounds feet. Engineering Friction torque can be disruptive in engineering . There are a variety of measures engineers may choose to take to eliminate these disruptions. Ball bearings are an example of an attempt to minimize the friction torque. Examples When a cyclist applies the brake to his her forward wheel , the Bicycle bike tips forwards due to the frictional torque between the wheel and the Earth ground . When a golf ball hits the ground it begins to spin in part because of the friction torque applied to the golf ball from the friction between the golf ball and the ground.

  1. Friction loss

    unreferenced date November 2006 Friction loss refers to that portion of pressure lost by fluids while moving through a pipe, hose, or other limited space. In mechanical systems such as internal combustion engine s, it refers to the power lost overcoming the friction between two moving surfaces. Causes Friction loss has several causes, including Frictional losses depend on the conditions of flow and the physical properties of the system. Movement of fluid molecules against each other Movement of fluid molecules against the inside surface of a pipe or the like, particularly if the inside surface is rough, textured, or otherwise not smooth Bends, kinks, and other sharp turns in Hose tubing hose or piping In pipe flows the losses due to friction are of two kinds skin friction and form friction. The former is due to the roughness of the inner part of the pipe where the fluid comes in contact with the pipe material, while the latter is due to obstructions present in the line of flow perhaps a bend, control valve, or anything that changes the course of motion of the flowing fluid. Firefighting Applications While friction loss has multiple applications, one of the most common is in the realm of firefighting. With the advent of modern Power takeoff power takeoff PTO fire pump s, pressures created can sometimes overwhelm the ability of water to flow through a hose of a given diameter. As the velocity of water inside a hose increases, so does the friction loss. This resulting increase occurs at a quadratic rate, thus an increase in the flow by a factor of X will result in an increase in friction loss by a factor of X sup 2 sup . For example, doubling the flow through a hose will quadruple the friction loss. Ultimately, as the Fluid pressure pressure created by a fire pump goes higher and higher the amount of water actually flowing through a hose to a given point lessens, threatening firefighting operations. Conversely, friction loss can restrict the distance which water can be lifted ...   more details

Another use is to wrap it around the handle of a softball or baseball bat to give one a better grip. It s also useful as a base when wrapping a bicycle handlebar with handlebar tape.

In Europe it emerged in the 16th century and was associated with specific religious and ceremonious occasions. Construction A friction drum is a percussion instrument consisting of a single membrane stretched over a sound box , whose sound is produced by the player causing the membrane to vibrate by friction . The sound box may be a pot or jug or some open ended hollow object. To produce the friction, the membrane may be directly rubbed with the fingers or through the use of a cloth, or a stick or cord which is attached to the centre of the membrane and then rubbed or moved with a hand, sponge or cloth, generally wet. The membrane may be depressed with the thumb while playing to vary the Pitch music pitch . When a cord is used the instrument may be referred to as a string drum or lion s roar . In some friction drums, the friction is obtained by spinning the drum around a pivot.
