The work done by friction can translate into deformation, wear, and heat that can affect the contact surface properties (even the coefficient of friction between the surfaces). This can be beneficial as in polishing. The work of friction is used to mix and join materials such as in the process of friction welding. Excessive erosion or wear of ...
Work done by compression is considered thermodynamic work, but shaft work, stirring, and rubbing are not, in that they do not change the volume of the system. Work without change of volume is known as isochoric work, for example when friction acts on the surface or in the interior of the system.
The ancient Greek understanding of physics was limited to the statics of simple machines (the balance of forces), and did not include dynamics or the concept of work. During the Renaissance the dynamics of the Mechanical Powers, as the simple machines were called, began to be studied from the standpoint of how far they could lift a load, in addition to the force they could apply, leading ...
The Archard wear equation is a simple model used to describe sliding wear and is based on the theory of asperity contact. The Archard equation was developed much later than Reye's hypothesis [] (sometimes also known as energy dissipative hypothesis), though both came to the same physical conclusions, that the volume of the removed debris due to wear is proportional to the work done by friction ...
Mean effective pressure (MEP) is defined by the location measurement and method of calculation, some commonly used MEPs are given here: Brake mean effective pressure (BMEP, p m e {\displaystyle p_{me}} ) - Mean effective pressure calculated from measured brake torque.
where, is the heat absorbed and is the work done. Please note that the term work done relates to the power delivered at the clutch or at the driveshaft. This means the friction and other losses are subtracted from the work done by thermodynamic expansion. Thus an engine not delivering any work to the outside environment has zero efficiency.
If the coefficient of friction is defined as: [4] = where is the tangential force. Then K can be defined for abrasive wear as work done to create abrasive wear particles by cutting to external work done: [4]
Coulomb damping dissipates energy constantly because of sliding friction. The magnitude of sliding friction is a constant value; independent of surface area, displacement or position, and velocity. The system undergoing Coulomb damping is periodic or oscillating and restrained by the sliding friction.
