Reciprocating contacts occur in a wide variety of practical wear situations including hip joints and electrical contacts. In developing tribological t......
Hot stamping is characterised by severe contact conditions, especially when forming aluminium components. In order to improve the tool lifetime, proce......
Liquid crystals (LCs) are considered attractive lubricating materials due to their controllable molecular alignment and rheological behavior using an ......
Mineral particles are used to improve adhesion between wheel and rail, but they might lead to severe damages of wheel and rail surfaces. To investigat......
This paper aimed to investigate the wear properties of different wheel-rail material pairs with various hardness values. Twin-disc wear experiments we......
Mechanical drilling of carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRPs) has been notoriously difficult due to the high abrasiveness of reinforcing fibers and ......
In this study, the nano-sized V2C precipitations were introduced in the high-manganese steel (Fe-17Mn-0.9C) matrix to improve the wear-resistance unde......
Tribological behaviors of 316SS/bronze (BJP316), 420SS/bronze (BJP420) and WC/bronze (BJPWC) composites fabricated using binder jetting were evaluated......
This work aims to investigate the effectiveness of surface textures in improving the wear performance of 3Y-TZP zirconia ceramics and the operating me......
The fretting-corrosion performance of 6082 aluminum alloy in 3.5% NaCl solution was investigated in this work. The effects of displacements (5-50 mu m......
Understanding the mechanism for brittle material removal via solid particle impact is important for various areas such as energy and aerospace industr......
Due to non-destructive testing characteristics, ultrasonic-based measurements are regarded as potential strategies in real-time monitoring of varied l......
The effect of Fe addition on the structure, mechanical and wear properties of Zr?Cu?Ni?Al bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) was systematically investigated......
The standard model-based approach for predicting wheel wear consists of four main sub-modules: a macro vehicle-track model, a normal wheel-rail contac......
This study establishes a flow-induced nonlinear vibrations (FINV) model of tubing string using micro-finite element and energy methods along with the ......
