SUMMARY

The frictional coefficient for glass in contact with rubber varies significantly based on the specific types of glass and rubber used, as well as environmental factors such as humidity. For accurate finite element analysis in Catia, it is essential to determine the precise materials involved. Rishi's inquiry highlights the lack of consensus on frictional values available online, indicating the need for precise material specifications to obtain reliable data for engineering applications.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of finite element analysis (FEA)
  • Familiarity with Catia software
  • Knowledge of material properties, specifically friction coefficients
  • Basic principles of tribology
NEXT STEPS
  • Research specific frictional coefficients for various glass and rubber combinations
  • Explore the impact of environmental conditions on material friction
  • Learn how to conduct material property tests using Catia
  • Investigate tribological studies related to glass and rubber interactions
USEFUL FOR

Mechanical engineers, materials scientists, and students involved in finite element analysis or tribology who require precise material interaction data for their projects.

Hi All!

I have an assignment from University that involves finite element analysis of a glass lifting body using Catia. Problem is in order to set the value for loading correctly, I need the frictional coefficient for glass when in contact with rubber.

I tried looking online and couldn't get anywhere with it. Different sites give different values, and I'm not confident about either of them.
I was hoping to find some help here. Please let me know soon if possible as the assignment is due in 2 days.

Thanks a lot everyone!

Rishi

Depends on the glass, depends on the rubber, depends on humidity.
