Abstract

The review on “Curling and physical properties of ice (in Seppyo, vol.72, no. 3)” discussed an interesting phenomenon why stones curve. This paper provides some additional explanations on the characteristics of the motion of a curling stone from the view point of tribology. This work also supports the theory of left-right anisotropy which was suggested by Harrington as the mechanism of curving.
