Abstract

The scuffing failure is a critical problem in modern machine components, especially for the requirement of high efficiency and small size. In this study. scuffing experiments are conducted using Acoustic Emission(AE) measurement by an indirect sensing approach to detect scuffing failure. Using AE signals we con get and indication about the state of the friction processes, about the quality of solid and liquid layers on the contacting surface in real time. The FFT(Fast Fourier Transform)analyses of the AE signal are used to understand the interfacial interaction and the relationship between the AE signal and the state of contact is presented.
