Friction Coefficient Variation with Sliding Velocity in Copper with Copper Contact
In this paper, by applying analytical method and using experimental method data, the effect of sliding velocity on friction coefficient for contact of copper with copper is investigated. Some equations for obtaining friction coefficient as a function of sliding velocity for contact of copper with copper by applying second analytical method and using experimental method data are achieved. The results have shown, for each duration of rubbing, the existence of an exclusive equation for friction coefficient. The friction coefficient functions that are achieved by second analytical method are shown as a curve that indicates specific friction coefficient for each sliding velocity. Friction coefficient can be used to obtain friction force and stress in contact region of materials. In order to have a suitable design, the amounts of stress and friction force in contact region are required.
