Abstract

We report a study about the electrical response from a sliding contact made of a silver-graphite brush and a brass ring. This study focuses specifically on the voltage variations due to the mechanical interactions across the contact according to the rotational speed. This study is part of the research and the development about the monitoring of dynamical interfaces.
