Friction and wear are influenced by the surface conditions of the material, since there is
deformation, segregation, generation of oxide films, among others. Roughness is an …

When pristine solid surfaces experience sliding contact, the surface roughness undergoes
various changes and deformations in a transient fashion giving rise to a nonlinear wear rate …

The Archard equation is widely employed to predict wear in engineering practice, but its use
is usually restricted to the cases of sufficiently long wear duration, so the transient running-in …

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 objectives of this study were to investigate the effects of temperature (750° C) on the
coefficient of friction and wear rate of Inconel 617 in fretting wear in air and helium …

Influence of surface topography on torsional fretting under flat-on-flat contact were
investigated. Contact surfaces of the lower specimens were prepared by milling with …

A revision of a metal-on-ultra high molecular weight (UHMWPE) bearing couple for total hip
replacement was performed due to aseptic loosening after 23 years in-vivo. It is a major long …

With the increasing integration of seawater hydraulic components, much attention has been
paid to the tribological characteristics of PEEK bidirectional sliding against AISI630 tribopair …

Surface topography is important as it influences contact load-carrying capacity and
operational efficiency through generated friction, as well as wear. As a result, a plethora of …

This study examined the influence of worn surfaces on the stick–slip friction of galvanized
automotive steel and revealed the intrinsic role of surface topography parameters in the stick …
