Abstract

The objectives of this thesis are four in number. The first is to advance the basic understanding of the frictional behavior of materials in flat surface sliding, especially in the breakaway region where the coefficient of static friction is predominant. The second is to present an apparatus incorporating the use of flat contact surfaces, to provide accurate determination of the coefficient of static friction and some of the kinetic characteristics. The third is to establish a procedure of testing such that the static frictions is accurately analyzed to include variations with time and wear. The fourth objective is to establish the frictional behavior of eighteen pairs of materials and illustrate the importance of time and wear in the coefficient of static friction.
