Testing device compatibility and possible measurement errors in dry sliding
Abstract
Attempts to reveal some of the factors that might cause measurement and evaluation errors in dry sliding. Discusses matters such us “what” and “how” is simulated and “why” and “what” is really measured and suggests ways to tackle these matters. Presents means of avoiding measurement errors as well as suitable testing procedures. Suggests a strategy of experimental work that encompasses the needs of both pure research and engineering design. It was found that the pin‐on‐disc test largely satisfies the conditions for a good simulation of certain engineering applications while providing a wealth of data for both scientific insight and engineering design.
