Put differently, the Cold War created a high coefficient of friction in the global economy.

Not exact matches

In physics problems, an elephant on a river bank becomes a mass with a coefficient of friction, and a Beethoven symphony becomes a set of molecular vibrations.

Flexible Packaging recently caught up with Dave Muchorski, director of marketing at Testing Machines Inc., for an update on what's new in the field and how coefficient of friction can impact printing and converting operations.

The degree of lock — which may be anywhere between 0 and 100 percent — is adjusted as required within a fraction of a second, enabling wheel spin to be prevented on slippery surfaces, in instances where the right and left rear wheel have widely differing friction coefficients, in tight bends and when changing direction with particular vigor.

Further improvements have been made in various areas, including the car's directional stability, the friction coefficient of the wheel bearings, tire noise and weight, which has been reduced by 4.4 pounds on the front suspension alone.

Depending on driving style and the coefficient of friction, it can send between 50 and 100 percent of the available torque to the rear axle, and when Audi drive select is in dynamic mode and the ESC Electronic Stabilisation Control system is in its sport setting, power is transferred to the rear sooner and in greater amounts for even greater agility and more direct turn - in.

It is an active all - wheel - drive system that helps to ensure the optimal distribution of drive power for optimum traction in most road scenarios, whether on long straights, through tight corners, or on surfaces with different friction coefficients.

The new performance mode in the Audi drive select dynamic handling system enables adaptation of the most important ride dynamics parameters to the friction coefficient of the road.

They are far lighter and have much higher friction coefficient and needs a total reworking of the servo system in order to avoid the horrible lurching stops the first gen systems were known for.

The degree of lock — which may be anywhere between 0 and 100 per cent — is adjusted as required within a fraction of a second, enabling wheel spin to be prevented on slippery surfaces, in instances where the right and left rear wheel have widely differing friction coefficients, in tight bends and when changing direction with particular vigour.

Through an oil - temperature sensor, the SH - AWD ® Control Unit monitors the rear differential's clutch - plate coefficient of friction (that changes with temperature) in each clutch pack and then adjusts the voltage to each electromagnetic coil to compensate.

With reactive activation, which rarely occurs in practice, the system reacts to sudden changes in the coefficient of friction.

In dynamic mode, power is sent to the rear axle sooner and to a larger degree, improving the driving dynamics particularly at low coefficients of friction.

quattro all - wheel drive is more frequently active in winter than in summer because the coefficients of friction are lower then.
