Abstract :
Previously proposed models of the ultrasonic lubrication of a finger mediated by flat surfaces are not consistent with the experimental results for vibrational amplitudes greater than a few microns. This paper presents experimental data acquired through a dedicated tribometer and proposes an experimental model of ultrasonic lubrication at high vibrational amplitudes.
