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 ...
