Abstract The study aims to endorse the relevance of tribology in daily life and to promote tribology to a broader demographic. Sandwich filling slumping in its packaging, known as a skillet, is termed “drop”. The authors found that the optimal arrangement of sandwich fillings to prevent drop had not been researched. The Bacon Lettuce and Tomato (BLT) and the Chicken Salad sandwich were investigated. An optimal arrangement for each sandwich that minimised drop is suggested. The coefficient of friction of each interface was determined experimentally and a theoretical optimal arrangement was suggested and validated using a numerical model. An improvement of 9.9% was observed between the optimally and worst arranged Chicken Salad sandwich models. For the BLT the improvement was 8.2%.

夹心填料组件布置的理论优化

摘要 该研究旨在认可摩擦学在日常生活中的相关性，并将摩擦学推广到更广泛的人群中。三明治馅在其包装中塌陷，称为煎锅，被称为“下降”。作者发现，尚未研究防止掉落的夹心馅料的最佳布置。研究了培根生菜和番茄 (BLT) 以及鸡肉沙拉三明治。建议对每个三明治进行最佳布置，以最大限度地减少跌落。每个界面的摩擦系数通过实验确定，并使用数值模型建议和验证理论上的最佳布置。在最佳和最差排列的鸡肉沙拉三明治模型之间观察到 9.9% 的改进。对于 BLT，改进为 8.2%。
