Revisiting mechanics of ice–skate friction: from experiments at a skating rink to a unified hypothesis

open access: yesJournal of Glaciology, 2022
The mechanics underlying ice–skate friction remain uncertain despite over a century of study. In the 1930s, the theory of self-lubrication from frictional heat supplanted an earlier hypothesis that pressure melting governed skate friction. More recently,
