Statement of problem Tooth wear is a complex process, which, if not prevented, may
adversely affect the integrity of the stomatognathic system. Different restorative dental …

In industrial applications, fretting and sliding wear can be encountered by the same friction
pair depending on the working conditions. In this study, fretting and sliding wear properties …

Mechanochemical reactions of the GaN-Al 2 O 3 interface offer a novel principle for scientific
and technological merits in the micro-/nano-scale ultra-precision surface machining. In this …

This paper investigates the effects of fretting wear on frictional contacts. A high frequency
friction rig is used to measure the evolution of hysteresis loops, friction coefficient and …

Abrasive wear mechanisms—including two-body and three-body abrasion—dominate the
performance and lifespan of tribological systems in many engineering fields, even of those …

The presence of fatigue crack is a common damage pattern in railway wheel-rail system,
which will reduce service life and increase the maintenance costs of railway transportation …

Tooth wear has been recognised as a major problem in dentistry. Epidemiological studies
have reported an increasing prevalence of tooth wear and general dental practitioners see a …

In the aerospace industry, fretting and sliding wear are commonly encountered by
components made from M50 bearing steel. This study aims to investigate the effect of …
