| contents | A new instrument has been designed for measuring frictional hysteresis cycles and normal load-indentation curves. The primary purpose of the BMT is the validation of more predictive modeling approaches for damping in friction joints. An important original feature of the BMT is its ability to measure both normal and tangential contact behavior without having to separate the samples. Special attention was paid to alignment and smooth motion in order to permit testing nominally flat-on-flat contacts in the microslip regime. Examples are shown for finely resolved, undistorted hysteresis cycles with relative tangential displacement amplitudes in the sub-micrometer range at about 50 MPa nominal normal pressure, which is maintained well over the tangential load cycle. |
