Copper Tribology FAIR Data Experiments - Sapphire Counterbody

Description

Abstract: This digital artefact documents the results of experiments in metals tribology. It is constructed strictly observing the FAIR data principles. The experiments test the reciprocation sliding of a 10-mm single-crystal sapphire sphere against a polycrystal (average size ~45 µm) copper base body. The range of normal loads is 0–4.5 N, the sliding velocity is always 0.5 mm/s, and the experiments are performed in ambient 50% RH atmosphere.

How to work with this data: The files in this Zenodo record carry the metadata and descriptions associated with the experiments. They are serialized in RDF. All raw and processed data is collected into RO-Crates (10.3233/DS-210053), and are stored at institutional servers with the following addresses (these are also semantically linked using Zenodo's schema on the right):
