Abstract
More is involved in contact than just friction, although it is the main process. Indeed, during a contact process elastic or plastic deformations of the surface asperities may happen. Also, some or all of the following may take place: squeezing of oil or other fluids, breaking of the asperities’ tips and production of debris, motion of the debris, formation or welding of junctions, creeping, fracture, etc. Moreover, frictional contact is associated with heat generation, which, in turn, may influence the process considerably by softening the surface material, causing structural changes, or even melting it.
