In this session a mechanics overview of shoe-floor friction and how mechanics research can inform tile selection & design will be presented. Novel experimental methods on multiscale surface characterization and friction measurement will be presented along with their applications and insights for ceramic tiles. The talk will also present on mechanics models that provide predictive power for shoe-floor friction driven by these novel surface characterization data. These models will be discussed in the context of guiding updated designs and to understand tile wear and cleanability. Finally, the talk will discuss future opportunities for physics-informed machine learning to predict friction performance based on multiscale surface characterization.<\/span><\/p>\n

Kurt Beschorner is an Associate Professor of Bioengineering at the University of Pittsburgh. He received his B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and his Ph.D. in Bioengineering from the University of Pittsburgh. His research mission is to apply core competencies in tribology, biomechanics and ergonomics to prevent falling accidents. In particular, his research has improved understanding of shoe-floor friction mechanics during slipping to guide flooring design as part of slip prevention efforts. Dr. Beschorner has a longstanding collaboration with Dr. Tevis Jacobs where they collectively have been developing novel surface characterization methods to improve ceramic tile surface characterization by considering multiple scales of roughness. As part of this work, they have partnered with Tile Council of North America to improve translatability of their resulting science. Dr. Beschorner\u2019s research has been funded by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (U.S.), the National Institute on Aging (U.S.), and private industry<\/p>\n
