Molecular mechanisms of self-organization at friction - part III: hypothetical mechanisms of reduction in viscosity fluid structured in hydrodynamic clearance

摘要

Models were developed to account for a reduction in viscosity of structurally ordered fluid at hydrodynamic lubrication. The models link the bifurcation point on friction force-load curve and the change of mass and momentum transfer from vacancy to relay-race mechanism. To a first approximation, these mechanisms are similar to the mechanisms of monomolecular S{sub}N1 and bimolecular S{sub}N2 substitution.
