Abstract
Conventional boundary films are thought of as ``solid'' layers in which shear strength is directly proportional to local contact pressure. However, recent studies suggest both that the properties of adsorbed or deposited surface films may be much more com- plex than this and that the details of surface topography cannot be ignored in determining the overall coefficient of friction of real engineering contacts. In this contribution we examine both these effects.
