Static coefficient of rolling friction under heating

Abstract

The effect of heating, the normal load, and the radii of the members in contact on the static coefficient of rolling friction is considered. The design of a new apparatus for measuring the parameters of rolling friction over an inclined plane at elevated temperatures is presented. A need to specify the effect of the type of the materials in contact, as well as the roughness and contact geometry, on the static coefficient of rolling friction is emphasized. © 2013 Allerton Press, Inc.
