https://popups.uliege.be/esaform21/index.php?id=3340 The objective of the present work is to study materials properties and performance of the footwear thread to develop and implement an analytical-numerical model capable of simulating their performance. The numerical results simulation was carried out, analyzing the sliding mechanisms of shoe-floor and evaluating the contact pressure and vertical stress. An experimental procedure, supported by a numerical model, was implemented for computing the evolution of the tangential force over several load increments.
