Friction

  • Chapter
Tribology and Mechanics of Magnetic Storage Devices

Abstract

Friction is the resistance to motion that is experienced whenever one solid body slides over another. The resistive force F, which is parallel to the direction of motion, is called the friction force [Fig. 4.1(a)]. If the solid bodies are loaded together and a tangential force (F) is applied, then the value of the tangential force that is required to initiate sliding is the static friction force. It may take a few milliseconds before sliding is initiated at the interface (Fstatic). The tangential force required to maintain sliding is the kinetic (or dynamic) friction force (Fkinetic); it is sometimes also called drag force. Kinetic friction is either lower than or equal to the static friction [Fig. 4.1(b)].
