Abstract:The forces of static and sliding friction between mechanically polished x-ray irradiated KCl were found to satisfy the equations: F (static)=AN12+BNand F (sliding)=B′N+D′N32,where F is the force of friction, N is the normal force, and A, B, B′, and D′ are numerical coefficients. Various models of friction were examined, and it was shown that both the functional relationships between friction and the normal force and between the changes in the numerical coefficients and the F-center concentration are consistent… Show more
