Friction and Wear of Materials
Ernest Rabinowicz,R. I. Tanner +1 more
TL;DR: Abrasive and other types of wear include: adhesives, lubrication, friction, and adhesion, as well as material properties that influence surface interaction as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
A study of abrasive wear under three-body conditions
TL;DR: In this article, a simple quantitative expression for abrasive wear rate is developed, and the abrasive data of a number of earlier investigators is analyzed in terms of this expression. But the results of this analysis are limited, since the average loose abrasive grain spends 90% of its time rolling and only 10% of the time abrading the sliding surfaces between which it is situated.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Nature of the Static and Kinetic Coefficients of Friction
TL;DR: In this article, the transition between static and kinetic conditions when stationary metal surfaces are set into motion is determined by measuring the energy that has to be given to one of the bodies to start it moving.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Intrinsic Variables affecting the Stick-Slip Process
TL;DR: In this paper, it is shown that stick-slip oscillations must normally have an amplitude greater than the critical distance, and thus increased spring stiffness is often effective in eliminating stick slip.
