EXPERIMENTAL / TRIBOLOGY
Hahn Grinder Friction Characterization & Data Analysis
JAN 2025 — JUN 2025
OVERVIEW
Characterized friction on a cylindrical grinder's linear axis using a reciprocating sled setup at MASTER Lab, UC Davis — integrating load cell and potentiometer signals via NI DAQ. Built MATLAB scripts converting raw voltage to physical units, segmenting strokes, and analyzing friction-velocity trends and cycle-to-cycle repeatability for servo sizing and tribological studies.
