We study the wear rate (mass loss per unit sliding distance) of a tire tread rubber compound sliding on concrete paver surfaces under dryand wet conditions, at different nominal contact pressures of σ0 = 0.12, 0.29, and 0.43 MPa, and sliding velocities ranging from v = 1 μm s−1to 1 cm s−1. We find that the wear rate is proportional to the normal force and remains independent of the sliding speed [...]

Handgrip strength (HGS) is a significant biomarker for overall health, offering a simple, cost-effective method for assessing muscle function. Lower HGS is linked to higher mortality, functional decline, cognitive impairments, and chronic diseases. [...]
