Rolling Friction

Authors: Warren D. Smith

We theoretically examine energy losses experienced during rolling, then compare versus experiments (which we criticize), and suggest applications such as building better pendulum clocks, and draw conclusions such as offering new better advice about wheel-engineering. As far as I know this is the best treatment available. In particular we resolve the >180-year-old Coulomb- Dupuit controversy. by explaining their disagreement both with each other, and versus (better than their) experiments.
