Abstract: Infrared emission spectra of 5P4E polyphenyl ether were obtained from an operating elastohydrodynamic sliding contact at different speeds and loads by Fourier emission microspectrophotometry. The ...

Abstract: Partial and complete emission band reversals have been observed in the infrared emission spectra from portions of operating sliding contacts. An elementary analysis has been carried out to show ...

Abstract: Interferometry has provided the sensitivity needed for the gathering, through suitable windows, of infrared absorption and emission spectra of excellent resolution (<1 cm−1 ) from sample volumes ...

Abstract: A small diamond disk mounted as a window in a steel plate was covered with test fluid, and a weighted steel ball was rotated over the window so as to form a sliding elastohydrodynamic (EHD) ...

Abstract: The friction and wear behavior of diamond-like carbon (DLC) overcoated sliders is investigated as a function of DLC overcoat thickness using contact-start-stop and constant speed drag tests. The ...
