Abstract: This paper describes and experimental investigation of the microdisplacements between two elastic bodies in contact under the action of a tangential force less than that of limiting friction. ...

Abstract: Interactions between zinc dithiophosphate (ZDDP) antiwear additive and commercial calcium sulfonate detergent are studied using a plane/plane contact configuration friction machine lubricated under ...

Abstract: Studies of Vickers hardness of magnesium oxide are presented in the literature for three purposes. They give information about relations between hardness and brittleness, (plasticity and toughness ...

Abstract: The lubrication with oil-in-water emulsions is usually supposed to be governed by the oil phase being concentrated in a reservoir that supplies the contact. In this paper, another lubrication ...
