National Technical Reports Library

The National Technical Information Service acquires, indexes, abstracts, and archives the largest collection of U.S. government-sponsored technical reports in existence. The NTRL offers online, free and open access to these authenticated government technical reports. Technical reports and documents in its repository may be available online for free either from the issuing federal agency, the U.S. Government Publishing Office’s Federal Digital System website, or through search engines.

Study of the Interactions Between Friction, Wear, and System Rigidity. Final Report, July 1, 1979-June 30, 1981.

DE82009528

Publication Date	1982
Personal Author	Aronov, V.; D'Souza, A. F.; Kalpakjian, S.; Shareef, I.
Page Count	154
Abstract	This study was undertaken to investigate the interrelationships between system rigidity and friction and wear. A special apparatus was designed and constructed where the system rigidity could be changed, and experiments were conducted with water lubrication and also under dry conditions. During experiments the wear rate, friction force and normal force oscillations as well as slider vibrations were measured and analyzed. The samples of work surfaces were subjected to the light and scanning electron microscopy analysis and Talysurf roughness measurement. These analyses have shown that three main regimes of friction exist as a function of system rigidity, namely, (a) steady state friction associated with the smallest rate of wear, (b) friction with self-disturbances causing highest rate of wear and (c) regime of self excited vibrations. The wear behavior and slider vibration in tangential and normal directions are analyzed for all three friction regimes. (ERA citation 07:047619)
