When two bodies are in contact, various surface/subsurface damage problems may arise,
which significantly shorten the service lives of functional components. These damage …

Wear leads to loss of functions of machines and to a decrease in their efficiencies.
Controlling wear through wear resistance tests is a very important task. Wear tests aim to …

Graphene and MoS 2 were dispersed in esterified bio-oil (EBO) and evaluated as lubricants
for steel/steel contact. The tribological behaviors of steel/steel pairs were investigated under …

Transition metal nitride (TMN) films with excellent hardness and lubricating performance are
versatile low dimension materials, which are widely used in various fields including …

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 …

Objectives The aim of the present study was to investigate the volumetric abrasive wear of a
high-viscosity glass ionomer cement (hvGIC; Equia Fil) and a glass hybrid restorative system …

Wear-induced damages cause significant materials loss each year. Al alloys are widely
used by industry but usually have low wear resistance. Here, we compare the tribological …

There is a constant drive to develop ultra-high-performance multifunctional coatings for
existing construction used in modern engineering technologies. For these materials to be …

In this paper, a state of the art on computer simulation and prediction of wear in mechanical
components is reviewed. Past and recent developments as well as approaches employed in …

Radular teeth have to cope with wear, when interacting with ingesta. In some molluscan
taxa, wear-coping mechanisms, related to the incorporation of high contents of iron or silica …
