Abstract
The effect of sonic vibrations on the coefficient of static friction was measured for highly polished, ground, and sand‐pitted steel surfaces. The coefficient of static friction can virtually be reduced to zero as a result of increased vibrations at frequencies between 6 and 42 kc.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
