Abstract: Based on the theory by Blok and Jaeger, simple equations have been obtained for the theoretical evaluation of flash temperatures, i.e., the temperatures of circular or elliptical contact spots ...

Abstract: Stick-slip is commonly ascribed to a difference between the static and dynamic coefficients of friction or at the least a strong negative slope of the friction/velocity curve at very small ...

Abstract: As is well known, ambient atmospheres can greatly affect the friction and wear behavior of metals sliding on each other, as well as the electric contact resistance between the metals. In order ...

Abstract: An apparatus has been developed for the gathering of data from which, through suitable analysis, detailed information on the momentary condition of a sliding interface may be obtained. The ...
