The paper suggests a revision to the asperities plastic to elastic mode transition in the elastic–
plastic contact model of fractal rough surfaces, offered by Majumdar and Bushan [A …

In this paper, based on the fractal contact theory, a new analytical model for bolted joints is
proposed to monitor bolt looseness by using a pair of piezoceramic transducers for …

This study suggested a revision to the contact model of a fractal rough surface, by extending
the modified asperity contact model developed by Morag and Etsion, into a complete contact …

Four CrN coatings were deposited on 316L stainless steel by multi-arc ion plating. The
tribological behaviors of the CrN coatings were investigated by ball-on-disk tribometer in …

Surface texture of harder mating surfaces plays an important role during sliding against
softer materials and hence the importance of characterizing the surfaces in terms of …

An adaptive finite element method linked with user-defined subroutine UMESHMOTION is
developed for simulating the tangential fretting wear of PVDF piezoelectric thin films. The …

Zr/CrN multilayer coatings with different modulation ratios were fabricated by multi-arc ion
plating. By virtue of X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and …

An extensive survey of open literature reveals the need for a unifying approach for
characterizing the degradation of tribo-pairs. This paper focuses on recent efforts made …

The wear characteristics and related mechanisms of the middle plate of a coal conveyor
chute were investigated. Multiple sets of wear tests were performed in order to simulate the …

A generalized adhesive wear analysis that takes into account the effect of interfacial
adhesion on the total load was developed for three-dimensional fractal surfaces in normal …
