• Upon Fretting Behaviour in a Hertzian Point Contact 

      Irimescu, Luminita; Ciornei, Florina; Berthier, Yves (UDJG, 2010)
      Fretting is known as a wear process occurring in a small amplitude cyclic motion of two solid contacting surfaces and it can affect the fatigue resistance of the material, inducing wear and cracking. The kinematics ...
    • Upon Friction on a Ball Bearing - Outer Raceway Contact - I. Uniform Loading of the Balls 

      Irimescu, Luminița; Diaconescu, Emanuel; Berthier, Yves (Universitatea ”Dunărea de Jos” din Galați, 2006)
      The paper advances an analytical model to evaluate the effect of micro-slip on the friction losses at the interface of a normally loaded rolling contact. The model validation was done by comparing the theoretical results ...
