...-film lubrication. The variation of contact area and load ratios is examined for various velocities and slide-to-roll ratios. The mixed lubricated model is also used to predict the transient flash temperatures occurring in contacts due to asperity contact interactions and friction. In order...

... and slower running disks in order to match the experimental with calculated temperatures. This partition was found to vary approximately as a function of the product of sliding speed and surface temperature difference. A transient (flash) temperature analysis of one of the experiments was also carried out...
