Analysis of the dissipation processes of external input energy in conditions of anomalous low friction and wear

Abstract

The article presents theoretical and experimental prerequisites for achieving an anomalous friction and wear adopted in tribology from the standpoint of modern physical theories and quantum-mechanical approach to the explanation of the energy dissipation under the external friction. The purpose of this study is to analyze the effect of oscillations generated in most of the tribosystems as a factor of achieving anomalous low friction and wear conditions from a position of the quantum mechanical approach to real tribosystems operating under conditions of dry and boundary friction. Microdisplacement optimal conditions at the actual contact points are achieved in this case by changing rheology of the surface layer.
