Annotation |
A non-equilibrium thermodynamic model describing the behavior of an ultrathin lubricating material film confined between two atomically-smooth solid surfaces is proposed. As the order parameter the excess volume is chosen whose value increases with melting and subsequent fluidization of lubricant. It is shown that the external pressure, applied perpendicularly to the friction surfaces, influences crucially on lubricant behavior. The total system of kinetic equations is written down in which the relative shear velocity of rubbing surfaces, their temperature, and external normal pressure are the control parameters. Phase diagram with domains of different friction regimes is built. |
