Abstract: A size dependence of the average pressure for reducing thin, geometrically similar, lubricated disks of aluminum has been associated with the development of lubricant-film breakdown at the ...

Abstract: Distributions of normal stress, shear stress, and coefficient of friction were determined at the interface between a steel tool and a plastically deforming aluminum disk, using two pressure-sensitive ...

Abstract: Medium to high velocity linear sliding contact is modeled as the response of an elastic half space to an unlubricated punch, moving at constant speed. The stresses in the half space are ...
