4. DISCUSSIONAccording to the theoretical consideration,physical principle and characteristics <strong>of</strong> inclinedplane for coefficient <strong>of</strong> static friction measurementcan be applicable in the conditions with highertemperatures. The measurement error is function <strong>of</strong>the angle α and value <strong>of</strong> friction coefficient, asfollows:tan(α Δα) tanα 100[%] (7)tan(αawhere are:ε - measurement error andΔα – measurement error <strong>of</strong> angle.Measured coefficient <strong>of</strong> friction is in the rangefrom 0.01 to 0.05 and reading precision is oneminute based on computation, the measurementerror is less than 3%. This result is totallyacceptable. The results <strong>of</strong> experimental tests enableglobal overview <strong>of</strong> how larger number <strong>of</strong>parameters influence on coefficient <strong>of</strong> rollingfriction. Besides variations <strong>of</strong> temperature and level<strong>of</strong> normal load, variations were made to blockchannel radius (the second contact element).From diagram (figure 3) we can conclude thattemperature, which is selected for contact pairheating and normal load (ball weight) has largeinfluence on changing trend <strong>of</strong> coefficient <strong>of</strong> rollingfriction. The bend radius has indirect influence onreal contact surface, meaning that larger radiuscorresponds to 10% <strong>of</strong> lower values <strong>of</strong> frictioncoefficient. If we have in mind that increasingradius <strong>of</strong> block bend increases contact pressure thenit can be concluded that results correspond withliterature. In conjunction with above stated, it canbe concluded that to lower coefficient <strong>of</strong> frictioncorresponds higher contact pressure.Based on analyses <strong>of</strong> experimental results,generally it can be stated that contact temperaturehas significant influence on coefficient <strong>of</strong> rollingfriction. However, level <strong>of</strong> temperature influenceon coefficient <strong>of</strong> rolling friction is highly dependentfrom normal load value, especially in an area <strong>of</strong>lower values <strong>of</strong> normal load.5. CONCLUSIONThe research in the field <strong>of</strong> static friction isspread in a number <strong>of</strong> directions. The topicexplored by authors aimed to draw attention thatresearch in a field <strong>of</strong> static coefficient <strong>of</strong> rollingfriction have not been carried out in order toquantify complex influence <strong>of</strong> normal load, contactsurface and temperature on coefficient <strong>of</strong> rollingfriction. Through theoretical considerationpresented in this paper, authors hypothesized thatthere is necessary thermal potential in a contactzone for redistribution <strong>of</strong> contact pressure andincrease <strong>of</strong> rolling moment resistance attemperatures around 200°C. The instrumentationused for static coefficient <strong>of</strong> rolling frictionmeasurement in a condition <strong>of</strong> high temperaturesfunctions as inclined plane and enables satisfactorydetermination results <strong>of</strong> static coefficient <strong>of</strong> rollingfriction. In this paper the measurement error is lessthan 3%, for performed program <strong>of</strong> experimentalresearch, and regarding problems <strong>of</strong> measurement<strong>of</strong> very small friction forces this is completelysatisfactory. The measurement results <strong>of</strong> staticcoefficient <strong>of</strong> rolling friction for selected materials,in a condition <strong>of</strong> high temperatures, normal loadand bend radius <strong>of</strong> contact elements variation,indicate a complex influence <strong>of</strong> temperature in thetesting conditions.Scientists’ future research in this field should bedirected to experimental tests <strong>of</strong> different materialsin contact and optimization in order to determineminimal values <strong>of</strong> static coefficient <strong>of</strong> friction athigh temperatures.ACKNOWLEDGMENTResearch presented in this paper was supportedby Ministry <strong>of</strong> Science and TechnologicalDevelopment <strong>of</strong> Republic <strong>of</strong> Serbia, GrantTR-35021, Title: Razvoj triboloških mikro/nanodvokomponentnih i hibridnih samopodmazajućihkompozita.REFERENCES[1] P.
