DRY CONDITIONS

DRY CONDITIONS

• WE STUDY THE FRICTION COEFFICIENT FOR DIFFERENT
  VELOCITIES AND TIME INTERVALS the change is
  minimal
• WE OBSERVE HYSTERETIC LOOPS!

WET CONDITIONS WITH AESCULAP 5UL-BOVINE SERUM
Here on the left, the beginning of the cycles
you see low friction (flt0.15), no squeak, full
lubrication

• Here on the rigth, you see high friction (fgt0.6),
  squeak, nearly dry lubrication (the serum has
  evaporated after enough cycles). Notice we are
  CLOSE enough to the dry conditions, although not
  identically so!
