Analysis of the Friction Behavior at High Sliding Velocities and Pressures for Gilding Metal, Annealed Iron, Copper and Projectile Steel

Abstract

Through the numerical analyses of the data presented in the Benet Weapons Laboratory Report No. WVT-TR-75028, 'Friction and Wear at High Sliding Speeds,' and dimensional analysis incorporating findings of Prandtl, Grosch and Plake, Bowden, Archard and W.R.D. Wilson, a formulation is developed equating the coefficient of friction to the normal pressure, sliding velocity, strength and thermodynamical properties of the slider. This equation is for an elastic- plastic slider sliding on a dry, rigid surface similar to the conditions in interior ballistic environments.
