Traction Aspects of The Line Contact
Traction Aspects of The Line Contact
ABSTRACT.
This paper studies both the calculation and the experimental measurement of
the friction coefficient in the case of the real surfaces. The experiments were done on
a two disk-testing rig (SAE). It was observed the influence of the lubrication factors
in total and partial elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL). A friction coefficient
formula was corrected using the experimental results.
