Characterization of Friction and Wear Behavior of Friction Modifiers used in Wheel-Rail Contacts
Reliable traction between wheel and rail is an important issue in the railway industry. To reduce variations in the coefficient of friction, so-called “friction modifiers” (carrier with particles) are used. Twin-disk tests were done with three commercial

Charged-Surface Instability Development in Liquid Helium; Exact Solutions [PDF]
The nonlinear dynamics of charged-surface instability development was investigated for liquid helium far above the critical point. It is found that, if the surface charge completely screens the field above the surface, the equations of three-dimensional (
