Abstract:This article presents a theoretical model for dry, lowvelocity, and wear-less friction based on a single asperity interaction with arbitrary assumed adhesion forces and elastic deformations of the microasperities. Simulations of friction behavior according to the single asperity interaction, as well as the interaction of multiplied single models, are presented. The multiplied model assumes a regular distribution of the single asperities, arbitrarily chosen geometrical properties (based on harmonic function), a… Show more
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.
