The phrase "affecting friction" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts discussing how certain factors influence or change the level of friction between surfaces or materials.
Example: "The presence of moisture in the air is affecting friction between the two surfaces, leading to increased wear and tear."
Alternatives: "influencing friction" or "impacting friction".
A critical review of aggregate properties affecting friction, the frictional properties of asphalt mixtures and the influence of environmental factors on skid resistance is presented.
Further, important factors affecting friction and wear of polymers from the design and materials selection perspectives are described in detail.
However, any single study is unlikely to provide a full picture of the needed proportion of studded tyres for sufficient friction, given that road conditions keep changing and there are other factors affecting friction as well.
Tread pattern of the shoe affects friction especially under liquid-contaminated conditions.
The results showed that all the four factors affected friction coefficient significantly (p < 0.0001).
Twelve factors were selected to represent the main parameters that could potentially affect friction.
The interpretation of results shows that θ mostly affects friction coefficient, R2 has little effect on friction coefficient and h has no effect on it.
It was also demonstrated that the surface roughness orientation affects friction even at ultra-low sliding velocities, where the hydrodynamic action of the lubricating oils is considered ineffective.
The surface roughness and porosity of the copper oxide film were analyzed as factors that affect friction coefficients by using an electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS).
It was considered that the transferred film of CFRPEEK to Si3N4 and water lubrication both play very important roles in reducing the friction coefficient and pressure affects friction and wear of CFRPEEK through its influence on surface temperature.
It is important to characterize the features of the oxide scale of stainless steel in hot strip rolling because the scale on the strip surface affects friction coefficient and thermal conductivity coefficient.
