Knee and hip joint replacement implants involve a sliding contact between the femoral component and the tibial or acetabular component immersed in body fluids, thus making the metallic parts susceptible to tribocorrosion. Micro-motions occur at points of f ...
Frettingwear proceeds through particle detachment from the contacting surfaces which, while trapped in the contact zone, can affect the frictional and wear response. Ball-on-flat fretting experiments were carried out between steel specimens under gross sli ...
Atomistic models for friction suffer from the severe length- and time-scale restrictions of molecular dynamics. Even when they yield good qualitative results, it is difficult to draw meaningful quantitative conclusions from them. In this presentation, a no ...
We relate a Chaplygin type system to a Cartan decomposition of a real semi-simple Lie group. The resulting system is described in terms of the structure theory associated to the Cartan decomposition. It is shown to possess a preserved measure and when inte ...
The roughness coefficient is a significant factor in hydraulic design process, but carries vast uncertainty in practice. This paper reports the resistance coefficients of corrugated PVC pipes under different flow regimes (i.e. pressurised, gradually varied ...
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 ...
In this paper, an elastic plastic behaviour model based on internal state variables is investigated. The final aim is to describe the mechanical stress-strain cyclic response of oxide dispersion strengthened (ODS) steels during the cold pilgering process. ...
Friction and the associated wear are important but still poorly understood phenomena with strong impacts on our every day lives. Several mechanisms, such as plasticity, lattice vibration, and third-body interactions contribute to the dissipation of energy ...
Granular surfaces subjected to forces due to rolling wheels develop ripples above a critical speed. The resulting pattern, known as washboard or corrugated road, is common on dry unpaved roads. We investigated this phenomenon theoretically and experimental ...
P>The role of fat content and type of surfactant for oral friction processes and texture perception of oil-in-water emulsions was assessed. Emulsions at 22% and 33% fat content containing either sodium caseinate or a sucrose ester as emulsifier were compar ...
