For an updated project description, click on the following link for the Project Readiness Package. A friction tester is necessary for the research of wear and friction characteristics of various materials and the effect of lubricants. The test system is composed of a reciprocation system and an armature. The goal of this project is to design and create a functioning reciprocation system for a friction tester. The reciprocation system must secure and heat a material specimen while linearly reciprocating and recording temperature. There will also need to be a point of interface for the armature as well as a data acquisition system. The reciprocation system dimensions must not exceed 4'x6'. The completed friction tester and all documentation is expected for the end result. |
