Abstract: The fundamental characteristics of “stick-slip” motion in a machine tool slideway is ascertained experimentally, and it is clarified that the time-dependence of static friction has a great influence ...

Abstract: Stick-slip motion of a moving element on an actual machine tool slideway is investigated experimentally under various sliding conditions, and the fundamental characteristics of the stick-slip ...

Abstract: The complex surface topography of a scraped surface is studied quantitatively. The scraped surfaces are composed of the surface elements which are formed by each scraping operation, distribute ...

Abstract: The relation between static friction characteristics and surface topography of contacting scraped surfaces are theoretically examined under boundary lubrication. As a result, it is clarified that ...

Abstract: The clarification of the squeezing mechanism of lubricant, which flows between rough surfaces, is quite important for the improvement of the dynamic characteristics of sliding elements, and for ...
