  • What is the difference between reciprocated and non-reciprocated sliding?

    23.10.2019 790 Views
    Sliding mode is an often overlooked aspect of tribological testing; in some applications surfaces are reciprocated with respect to each other, while in other applications the slider only contacts fresh counter surface. For example, in [...]

    A very simple estimate of adhesion with rough surfaces based on a bearing area model

    19.02.2018 441 Views
    Here we present an abstract to the paper addressing a simplified model for adhesion between hard rough solids. Abstract In the present note, we suggest a single-line equation estimate for adhesion between elastic (hard) rough [...]
