Aseptic loosening caused by the wear and tear of the artificial joint prosthesis after implantation is one of the main causes of artificial joint failure. Therefore, it is important to investigate the wear debris generated due to wear when developing...

Wet clutch engagement is mainly influenced by the frictional behaviors between the friction pad and steel plate as well as the lubrication behaviors. A positive μ–V friction coefficient of the wet clutch pad is the most preferable characteri...

Due to different rheological behavior of human synovial fluid and the test mediums for in vitro examinations, wear tests cannot replicate the in vivo situation completely. The standards for wear testing indicate calf serum as in vitro test medium. Ho...

This paper presents a method to simulate the dynamic operating characteristics of a gas foil thrust bearing based on linear elastic support and constant ambient temperature to mimic the transient structure–fluid interactions. In the physical mo...

Wear is a complex phenomenon that depends on the properties of materials and their surfaces, as well as the operating conditions and the surrounding atmosphere. At the micro-scale, abrasive wear occurs as material removal due to plastic deformation a...

With the uncertainty regarding the global energy future, the ability to lubricate concentrated contacts with sufficiently thick liquid films while minimizing friction is of extreme importance. The assumptions of classical elastohydrodynamic lubricati...

For investigating the effect of mullite as a reinforced fiber of the non-asbestos brake friction material on the performance of brake pads, mullite reinforced composites with different contents (5% and 10%) and shapes (powder-based and fiber-based) w...

The aim of our research was to indicate the suitability of metallurgical slags (two blast furnace slags and one steel furnace slag) as the components of Cu-free friction materials. The base mixture consisted of nine components including phenolic resi...

Tool wear behavior is mainly influenced by cutting parameters for a given tool–workpiece pair and cutting process. Rapid tool wear increases production costs and deteriorates machining quality in manufacturing industries. Inconel 718 is prone t...

Silkiness is an extremely important attribute in high-end chocolate, and tribology is one of the commonly used methods of evaluating certain properties of the relevant food. In this study, based on three commercial chocolates of the same brand, the s...
