Influence of Road Surface Microtexture on Thin Water Film Traction
This paper deals with the contribution of road surface microtexture to the relationship between tire/road friction and water depth. The main objectives are the... -
Influence of thin water film on skid resistance
Most of past researches on the skid resistance/road wetness relationship deal with thick water depths (> 1mm). Questions remain as to the variation of skid... -
Effect of thin water film on tire/road friction
Water film on pavement surfaces entails a decrease of friction between the tire and the road. Nevertheless, only effects of water films above 1mm depth were... -
Contributions to micromechanical modelling of transport and freezing phenomen...
Micromechanical approach is employed to investigate the transport and freezing within unsaturated porous media. In unsaturated porous media, water film as well as...
