Abstract

The influence of a deformational defect of the shear modulus on the melting of an ultrathin lubricant film was investigated in the framework of the Lorenz model used for describing a viscoelastic medium. It was established that the film can undergo both stepwise and continuous melting. Analysis of the lubricant behavior revealed that there are three modes corresponding to a zero shear stress, a Hookean portion in the loading diagram, and a plastic-flow portion. The hysteresis in the dependences of the stationary shear stress on the strain and the friction surface temperature is examined.
