Abstract
Pressure-shear plate impact experiments are conducted to study the kinetics of friction on a submicrosecond time scale. The configuration offers the simplicity of allowing the interpretation of the experimental results by using the framework of one-dimensional plane wave analysis. To address the problem of high-speed machining, one of the impacting plates is chosen to correspond to a wear-resistant grade of tungsten-carbide tool material and the other to a commercial-grade titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V). The interfacial conditions are varied from sticking to slipping by varying the angle of impact and/or the surface roughness. Also, within a single experiment, transitions from conditions of fully sticking to intermittent, to full sliding are introduced by subjecting the interface to step changes in normal pressure. The experimentally obtained time-resolved frictional response of the interface is used to examine the role of the interfacial normal pressure, slip velocity, slip distance, and surface roughness in governing the interfacial slip resistance.
