Outline of Final Research Achievements

Measurement of coefficient of friction between surfaces is of interest in numerous engineering applications. In this study, a cantilever structure sensor that can measure the friction coefficient in an arbitrary slip ratio at high speed is proposed. This sensor consists of a base plate and a rigid rod. An experimental setup of a measurement system has been built, in order to measure the friction coefficient between a tire and a certain surface, where the tire rotates at high speed and with different slip ratios. It is confirmed from the experimental results that the sensor could measure the friction coefficient under conditions of various speed and slip ratio.
