Centro de Documentacion de Fundación MAPFRE - An Apparatus and a method for determining the slip resistance of shoes and floors by simulation of human foot motions

Notes: Sumario: The purpose of this study was to construct for laboratory use a reliable slip resistance testing and research apparatus which measures the kinetic coefficient of friction between the shoe sole and the underfoot surface, especially when different lubricants or contaminants are used. Another aim was to develop a measurement method and relevant criteria to evaluate the risk of slipping during normal walking on a level surface. The validity of the develop apparatus and the measurement method is evaluated and discussed too, as well as the reproducibility of some measurement resultsRelated records: En: Ergonomics. - London and Washington. - Vol. 32, nº 8, August 1989 ; p. 979-995Materia / lugar / evento: Ergonomía Deslizamientos Calzado Suelos Aparato locomotor Modelos de simulación Otros autores: Grönqvist, Raoul
