INVESTIGATION INTO THE INFLUENCE OF DYNAMIC FORCES ON THE TRIBOLOGICAL BEHAVIOUR OF BODIES IN ROLLING/SLIDING CONTACT WITH PARTICULAR REGARD TO SURFACE CORRUGATIONS

Up to the present rolling/sliding (rolling with slip) friction behaviour has always been investigated in a quasi-static state in a test rig. In reality, however, load fluctuations of a greater or lesser intensity are mostly present in rolling friction systems, e.g. the wheel/rail systems (travelling cranes, conveyors, railways, rotary furnaces, etc.) or the wheel/wheel system (rolling bearings, gears etc.). Practical experience has shown that dynamic loads can greatly influence the tribological behavior. With regard to the applicability of test results, this paper investigates the influence of dynamic forces on the frictional and wear behaviour of bodies in rolling/sliding contact. An attempt has been made to explain, with the aid of mathematical models, the frictional behaviour observed during the tests.
