Determination of The Static Friction Coefficient of Some Materials Used for Anti-slip Safety with ANOVA

Abstract

The surface conditions of ground surface coatings, which are widely used in working environments exposed to various pollutants, were evaluated from a safety perspective. In this work, static and dynamic friction coefficients and safe angle of inclination between some floor coverings exposed to different pollutants for various reasons and some shoe sole materials that are widely used in working environments were determined. The interaction between soil, floor, and surface contaminations were evaluated statistically. In particular, the ground surface contaminated with contaminants such as water and surface cleaners, which significantly reduce the security of the floor is studied. ANOVA results showed that the floor covering, shoe sole samples, and floor contaminants were significant for each variable of the friction coefficient (μ) (p
