Copper-based composites reinforced with alumina particles are produced by two different pro- cesses, namely gas pressure driven infiltration of a porous alumina preform and a two-step in-situ process developed in the course of this work. The resulting comp ...
Recent innovations and developments in the field of nanotechnology and subsequent advent of miniaturized moving components have led scientists to extensively investigate the atomic-scale origins of friction and lubrication. According to the classical Strib ...
The effects of friction are critical to the dynamics of electric power steering (EPS). On the one hand, friction contributes to the stability of the system and filters some of the disturbances (road vibration, etc.). On the other hand, it affects negativel ...
A finite element study of MWCNT pullout from a ceramic matrix with a rough fibre-matrix interface is presented. MWCNT pullout differs in several ways from pullout of solid, micro-scale fibres, and has not been studied before. Interfacial roughness, due to ...
We investigate the friction of deformable bodies, with nano-scale self-affine fractal rough surfaces, at the atomic scale using molecular dynamics. Different temperatures (0-400 K) are studied, while roughness and applied load are changed. During sliding, ...
Originally applied to the accurate, passive positioning of submillimetric devices, recent works proved capillary self-alignment as effective also for larger components and relatively large initial offsets. In this paper, we describe an analytic quasi-stati ...
Silicon nitride based ceramics (SiAlONs); tetragonal polycrystalline zirconia (3Y‐TZP); alumina and their composites reinforced with different amount of multi‐ walled carbon‐nanotubes (CNTs) have been processed by Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS). High tempera ...
A good biocompatibility, excellent mechanical properties and high corrosion resistance characterize CoCrMo alloys. Therefore they are widely used for artificial joints in biomedical implants. However, the degradation of the implants during service life lea ...
Here we present a processing route to produce multi-structured ceramic foams based on the combination of particle-stabilized foams with polymeric sponges to produce positive and negative templating structures. Polyester sponges are infiltrated with freshly ...
For a large number of non-oxideceramic/metal as well as for non-oxide particulate reinforced composite/metal tribocouples,oxidative wear is reported to play a major role in the overall damage and material removal process.The designing of new materials with ...
