Abstract Around 1,000 peer-reviewed papers were selected from 3,450 articles published
during 2020–2021, and reviewed as the representative advances in tribology research …

Wear leads to loss of functions of machines and to a decrease in their efficiencies.
Controlling wear through wear resistance tests is a very important task. Wear tests aim to …

Wear-driven tool failure is one of the main hurdles in the industry. This issue can be
addressed through surface coating with ceramic-reinforced metal matrix composites …

This work presents a critical assessment of wear volume determination methods for ball-on-
flat linear reciprocating sliding tribological tests. It revealed that the ASTM D7755-11 …

Considerable scattering of experimental wear results affects seriously the evaluation of
repeatability and reproducibility of tribological measurements and hampers detecting …

Turbomachinery and other jointed structures are carefully designed to optimise their
dynamic response and prevent unwanted high-cycle fatigue failures due to vibration …

This work presents a coupled 3D wear and fatigue numerical procedure for fretting problems
in ultra-high strength steel wires that combines Archard's wear equation with the Smith …

Fatigue life estimation methods based on time-domain and rainflow counting techniques are
widely recognised and accepted for their reliability. However, applying them in scenarios …

The aim of this study is to investigate the atmospheric effect on the wear of cast iron against
chromium plated steel at temperatures up to 800° C. Reciprocating wear tests of a cylinder …

A damage phenomenon called fretting fatigue frequently takes place when two contact
bodies are clamped together under a normal contact load along with a small-scale …
