This work investigates the effects of kinematic conditions, configuration, viscoelasticity, and lubricant viscosity on friction in lubricated compliant contacts. Experimental data were also used to develop a numerical simulation capable of predicting fluid friction in compliant contacts. Mini Traction Machine (MTM) in the ball-on-disc configuration was used to successfully gain insight into the behaviour of compliant contacts, allowing the investigation of the mentioned effects. The findings have confirmed that viscoelastic effects are present in all configurations, being soft-on-hard (S/H), hard-on-soft (H/S) and soft-on-soft (S/S), where they seem to be more profound in the configurations using compliant discs. The experimental data also suggest that the slide-to-roll ratio affects rolling friction in all configurations which is contrary to current literature.

这项工作研究了运动条件、配置、粘弹性和润滑剂粘度对润滑顺应接触摩擦的影响。实验数据还用于开发能够预测柔顺接触中的流体摩擦的数值模拟。球盘配置中的微型牵引机 (MTM) 用于成功深入了解顺从触点的行为，从而可以调查上述影响。研究结果证实，粘弹性效应存在于所有配置中，软对硬 (S/H)、硬对软 (H/S) 和软对软 (S/S)，它们似乎在使用兼容光盘的配置中更加深入。
