DEFINITION OF LOADING IN THE SINGLE CONTACT OF MICROASPERITIES WITH ALLOWANCE FOR AN ADSORBED LAYER OF SURFACE-ACTIVE SUBSTANCES
The model of interaction between microasperities of mating pairs by means of an adsorbed layer of surface-active substances under the condition of absence of metal contact has been given. The contact area of the adsorbed layer of surface-active substances on microasperities and the load which is perceived by an adsorbed layer on the single microprotuberance have been determined.
