Abstract
The collapsible structure of ice is stressed. The adhesion bond is visualized as being associated with a readjustment of a partially collapsed or distorted molecular structure when cooling sets in after plastic flow has occurred in the asperity. With this general idea in view the friction mechanism on ice is compared in detail with that on a non-collapsible material, and explanations for observations are suggested.This publication has 7 references indexed in Scilit:
