Abstract: The frictional characteristic is examined with reference to a model considering the interference effect of plastic flow (deformation) in soft metal film, when a two-protuberance indentor is slid ...

Abstract: The friction between a real engineering surface composed of many micro-asperities and a surface covered with soft metal film is discussed. First, the frictional coefficient shows a remarkable ...

Abstract: Analytical investigation of the evaluation of the coefficient of friction is made to clarify the mechanism of the load dependency of friction, which was obtained in Part 1 of this research, ...
