Direct observation of frictional seizure by X-ray imaging

Research has been concentrated on the evaluation of behaviour of frictional pairs in an attempt to improve their shelf life. Despite the efforts to obtain a better understanding of the behaviour of frictional systems, a convincing theory has yet to be established on the mechanism of scoring or scuff...

Recent work on in-situ observation of seizure facilitated use of idealized contact of sapphire disk.
