Friction and wear model of a heavy loaded sliding pair: Part III. Application to a lubricated plane bearing

In the works of Kolmogorov et al. and Kharlamov [V.L. Kolmogorov, V.V. Kharlamov, A.M. Kurilov, Mathematical friction model for heavy-loaded sliding bearings without the use of lubricants, J. Inst. Eng. Aust., Tribology Conference, Brisbane, Australia (1990) 196–201; V.V. Kharlamov, Mathematical model of transition process from liquid friction mode to mixed mode based on an example of heavy-loaded sliding contact, J. Inst. Eng.

Metal damage and fracture model, Wear 194 (1996) 71–79; V.L. Kolmogorov, V.V. Kharlamov, A.M. Kurilov, S.V. Pavlishko, Friction and wear model for a heavily loaded sliding pair. Part II. Application to an unlubricated journal bearing, Wear 197 (1996) 9–16] the mechanism of friction and wear in heavy loaded sliding pairs was discussed in terms of friction contact interaction mechanics as applied to the friction conditions when mechanical interaction prevails.
