Precursor amplitudes have been measured for impact-produced shock waves traveling in 〈111〉 directions in LiF. Impact pressures range from 30 to 98 kbars and precursor amplitudes for the larger pressures are about 60 kbars for crystals containing approximately 100 ppm Mg and about 50 kbars for undoped crystals. The greatest impact pressure at which elastic response is preserved is about 40 kbars. No precursor decay is evident from the measurements, which include sample thicknesses between 0.3 and 5 mm. Mean precursor decay rates inferred for the first 1/2 mm of travel range up to about 100 kbars/mm. Primary slip systems are not active in this geometry and the shear stress on secondary systems ranges up to 38 kbars at the highest impact pressure. This is still well below theoretical shear strength. Mechanisms for the inferred decay are not identified.
Auf der Bestimmung des Drehmoments zur Überwindung der Reibung zwischen einem wachsgepflegten Fußboden und einer runden, belasteten, in Drehung versetzten Gegenfläche beruht eine Methode zur Messung von Haft‐ und Gleitreibung zwischen wachsgepflegten Fußböden und einer Standardfläche. Ein Maß für die Haftreibung ist das Drehmoment im Augenblick des beginnenden Gleitens, ein solches für die Gleitreibung ist das Drehmoment bei konstantem Gleiten.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
