This work present the automation techniques and mechatronic elements used to automate a "sloping plane" which measures friction characteristics of geosynthetic interfaces. It generally describes the sloping plane mechanism and the measurements needed, also it specifically explains the sensors selection, user interfaces, control elements, simulations and results of this instrument.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
