The friction forces between various lubricated 'friction materials' and sapphire disks were measured using a new 'high-speed' rotating disk attachment to the surface forces apparatus (SFA). Two different clutch lubricants and two different friction materials were tested at sliding speeds and normal loads from 5 to 25 m/s, and 0.2 to 1 N (nominal pressures ~ 1 MPa), respectively. The results show that 'resonance friction'characterized by large amplitude oscillatory (i.e., sinusoidal) vibrations, also known as shudder or chatterdominates dynamical considerations at high sliding speed, replacing the smooth sliding or low-amplitude stick-slip that is characteristic of low speed/low load sliding. The characteristic (rotational) speeds or frequencies at which resonance friction occurs depend only on the coupled/uncoupled mechanical resonance frequencies of the loading and friction-sensing mechanisms. In contrast, the intensity of and time to enter/ exit shudder depends strongly on the lubricating oil and, to a lesser extent, on the friction material. Physical-chemical analyses of the friction materials before and after testing showed that the samples undergo primarily structural rather than chemical changes. Our results provide new fundamental insights into the resonance friction phenomenon and suggest means for its control.
