Calculations of the impact of friction and wear on energy consumption, economic
expenditure, and CO 2 emissions are presented on a global scale. This impact study covers …

Accurate wear measurement is an important task. In this paper, measurements of wear
levels within the limits of the original surface topography using profilometric methods were …

Modeling the elasto-plastic contact between rough interfaces may require high
computational effort as real surfaces present broad roughness spectra. In this work, we …

Gear rolling contact fatigue displays itself with many failure modes such as micro-pitting,
pitting or tooth flank fracture. Competing mechanism exists between these failure modes …

A ball-on-disc machine was operated under conditions relevant to heavily loaded gears.
Various levels of isotropic surface finishes were evaluated to reveal the influence on elasto …

It is virtually impossible to follow through changes in surface topography and analyse wear
mechanisms of the friction components of a hip joint prosthesis under in vivo conditions …

The combined effect of boundary layer formation and surface smoothing on friction and wear
rate of metallic surfaces under lubricated point contact condition was investigated. The …

In the present work, the relationship curve of the coefficient of friction (COF) with varying
loads of different morphology WS2 lubricating additives in the friction process at various …

The synergistic effect of silica (SiO2) and copper (Cu) nanoparticles in polyimide (PI) on the
friction interfacial deformation of polyethersulfone/polyimide (PES/PI) blends was studied …

Rolling bearing performance often degrades due to extra wear introduced by sliding-rolling
contacts. Thus, it is vital to monitor the evolution of such wear process through investigating …
