The document shows graphs comparing the friction coefficient and friction force over time and under different conditions for a textured versus an untextured surface. It describes a test of friction versus laps with poor lubrication between the surfaces, as well as tests measuring friction force at different crank speeds and pressures for baseline, low-speed transportation, and super-efficient transportation piston ring segments.
