Abstract: This paper deals with a study of the flexural behavior of thin, fiber-reinforced, resinoid abrasive disks. During use, these disks generally encounter a much higher ratio of flexural or bending ...

Abstract: The influence of lubricant, rate of deformation, surface roughness, deformation, and temperature on the coefficient of friction of three types of aluminum were studied using ring-compression tests. ...

Abstract: The barreling of cylindrical specimens during upsetting is a common example of free deformation. However, there is no analytical solution to predict the extent of barreling and even experimental ...

Abstract: It is shown that wear is an increasing function of system stiffness. The increase in the frequency of the applied load oscillations in normal direction causes increase of number of loading ...

Abstract: This paper presents experimental data and a physical model of the effects of normal load and system rigidity on the friction and wear processes with water lubrication. The transition from mild ...

Abstract: Dry frictional contact between two metallic surfaces, one cast iron and the other steel, is analyzed. The experiments were conducted using a pin-on-disk setup instrumented with force and ...

Abstract: Different types of vibrations induced by dry friction are investigated by means of a model apparatus described in Part 1. The structural model is obtained from the measurement of the modal ...
