Abstract: A model of friction interaction between two surfaces is based on considerations of discrete microscopic asperities at the surface. This model establishes the existence of two temperature gradients ...

Abstract: An effort is made to functionally connect the morphology of a surface damaged by friction with the sequence of events leading to the damage. The connection between a destructive situation and ...

Abstract: Heating, wear, and failure are feared effects of friction. The relationship between them is analyzed in terms of slide/roll ratio, relative velocity variation, and relative hardness relations. ...
