Project Info • Friction tester for Dr. Iglesias • Used by herself and students for research • Establishes friction test capability in a new KGCOE lab pin ball cylinder http://www.phoenix-tribology.com/cat/at2/leaflet/te88.htm Fig 1: example of linear reciprocating friction tester from ASTM G133-05
Background Info • Benchmarking • TE88 tester by Phoenix Tribology • RIT friction tester • Inoperational • Located in GIS • Minimum load ~3 lbs.
Critical Requirements Completion time Single MSD team project Fit on desktop 4’x6’; prefer 2’x1’ Wear method Linear reciprocation Contact style Ball/cylinder, interchangeable Frequency1-10Hz Stroke length 4-10mm Testing load 0.5-20N +-2% (0N with no load applied) Test duration 10 minutes to 24 hours Budget$25,000 Data Acquisition Time, friction force, and frequency exported to labview
Additional Requirements Specimen heating Up to 500°C Data acquisition Temperature monitoring Temp. control Constant, ramping Ease of use No special training required
Next Steps • Draft functional decomposition • Confirm specifications with Dr. Iglesias • Brainstorm possible solutions • Research costs of purchasing a tester • Risk Assessment
