Abstract

The classical theory of wearing, proposed by Reye 140 years ago and universally accepted for predicting the life of a component of a machine, can be rendered more precise by considering the effective stresses causing the smoothing of two surfaces mutually sliding in the presence of friction.

Sommario. La teoria classica dell'usura meccanica, proposta da Reye 140 anni fa ed accettata universalmente per prevedere la vita di un componente di una macchina, può essere posta in forma più precisa considerando gli sforzi effettivi che causano il logorio di due superfici che scorrono una rispetto all'altra in presenza d'attrito.
