Greenwoods Contact Model

Greenwood and Williamson Contact Model

04.01.2017 tribonet

Surface roughness was recognized to play a major role in forming friction and transition from one lubrication regime to another [1]. Greenwood pioneered with first rough contact model in 1966 [2]. Inspired by this milestone […]
