Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This study presents a high-velocity tribotest using Bruker UMT Tribolab to evaluate the ice traction of rubber composites. Lab-scale tribotests are essential for developing anti-slip materials for footwear. Reciprocating and rotational movements were studied on ice, along with the physical phenomena influencing friction, optimizing dwell time and load control parameters. GF-TPU composites and commercial winter boots (Green Diamond® and Arctic Grip Vibram®) were tested for validation. The addition of 10 wt% glass fibers to TPU increased static friction by 300 % and kinetic friction by 400 %, enhancing stick-slip behavior. SiC-based texturing in Green Diamond composites improved static friction by 160 % and kinetic friction by 970 %. Arctic Grip samples showed a 440 % increase in static friction and over 1000 % in kinetic friction.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
