Swirling Fluid-like Behavior Observed In Sliding Metals

A team of researchers at the Purdue University has found that when solid metals were slid one over another, a swirling fluid-like behavior occurred. This discovery provides new clues to the property of wear in materials and may help develop more durable metal parts. Sliding occurs in many types of machinery, including engine pistons and bearings.
