When two bodies are in contact, various surface/subsurface damage problems may arise,
which significantly shorten the service lives of functional components. These damage …

Sliding friction and wear performance of an economical Co-free CrFeNiAl 0.4 Ti 0.2 high
entropy alloy was studied over a wide temperature range. The homogenised alloy …

Rolling ball bearings are widely known and applied to decrease friction between two
surfaces. More recently, hydrogel–hydrogel tribopairs have also revealed good but rather …

The dependence of the sliding mode (repeated vs. non-repeated reciprocated sliding) on
the friction and wear behavior of ball-on-flat, brittle non-metallic interfaces in ambient air …

In this study, a series of Co-free FeNiCrCuAl x (x= 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 0.8 and 1.0) high entropy
alloys (HEAs) were developed by vacuum arc melting and casting method in high-purity …

The aggregate segregation for asphalt mixtures, characterized by non-uniform particle
distribution, significantly undermines the quality and performance of pavements. This …

Frictional contacts lead to the formation of a surface layer called the third body, consisting of
wear particles and structures resulting from their agglomerates. Its behavior and properties …

The frictional properties of two sliding surfaces are often influenced by a fluid lubricant's
ability to separate and facilitate movement. When particles are present, their entrainment …

The noise of disk brake pair has always been a difficult problem for enterprises and
researchers. Many factors induce the noise of disk brake pair, among which the influence of …

Contact of a single third-body particle between two plates is simulated using the Boundary
Element Method. The particle is considered as deformable, and the Coulomb's law of friction …
