Abstract
To prevent the falling accidents, not–slippery floor materials are required. The evaluation method of slipperiness in the past did not considered the effect of sliding velocity on the friction coefficient. Thus, the dynamic characteristic of friction was not taken into account. In this study, the tribological properties of textured FRP floor surfaces, including the effect of sliding velocity, were investigated in dry and wet condition. It was found that micro–textured surface has good properties because not only the drop of friction coefficient in wet condition became small, but also a tendency was observed where the friction coefficient increases with the sliding velocity.
