    Summary
    This paper is concerned with the dominant dissipation mechanism for a rolling disk in the final stage of its motion. The aim of this paper is to present the various dissipation mechanisms for a rolling disk which are used in the literature in a unified framework. Furthermore, new experiments on the ‘Euler disk' using a high-speed video camera and a novel image analysis technique are presented. The combined experimental/theoretical approach of this paper sheds some more light on the dominant dissipation mechanism on the time-scale of several seconds
