The phrase "a function of friction" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts discussing physics, engineering, or any situation where the relationship between friction and another variable is being analyzed.
Example: "The efficiency of the machine is a function of friction, which affects its overall performance."
Alternatives: "dependent on friction" or "related to friction".
Contents sliding spectra due to impulse records are developed as a function of normalised friction coefficient, equal to the friction coefficient divided by the structural spectral acceleration in terms of gravity, for structures with different periods.
In Figure 9 we choose the logarithm of the exit velocity, to underline the sensitivity on small variations in the friction factor value. Figure 9 Exit velocity as a function of the friction factor (on a logarithmic scale).
Furthermore, these equations suggest that the bearing resistance factor, Nq, is only a function of soil friction angle which is not consistent with some design guidelines.
This paper presents a simplified model to calculate the maximum pull force (a function of the friction, bursting, and soil compression shear forces) required to be overcome to complete a static pipe-bursting pull.
As one of the main results, a first approximation for a surface quality requirement for fine blanking tools made of WC-Co hard metal was quantitatively estimated as a function of the friction coefficient based on linear elastic fracture mechanics.
Finally, the sensitivity of the critical load has been studied as a function of the friction between pin and hole, tolerance of geometrical dimensions, and cracks out of the symmetric plane.
Open image in new window Fig. 11 Variation of K as a function of the friction angle ( upphi^{prime } ) for an H/B ratio of 7.5.
That study investigated flow through two die designs, and showed that the distortions, which can limit the use of this technology, are a strong function of friction that accompanies interface slip.
The dimensions of stable arches are a function of the peak friction angle, while the critical state friction angle dominates the height of the critical arch.
