Tribology is the science of studying friction, wear, and lubrication. Composite materials
consist of two or more constituents (phases): the discontinuous phase represents the …

Predictive assessments of the performance characteristics of metal-polymer (MP) plain
bearings at the design stage are necessary and important for engineering practice. They …

In the present work, a method for the analysis of short time intervals in ball bearings is
proposed. We study the effect of the internal clearance on the dynamics of ball bearings …

Repeatable patient positioning is key to minimising the burden on planning radiotherapy
treatment. There are very few materials commercially available which are suitable for use in …

It is known that the elastic characteristics of polyamides change with increasing temperature;
in particular, the Young's modulus decreases significantly. This fact is practically not taken …

Results of the study on the internal friction of steel ball bearings made of X65Cr14 alloy and
ceramic bearings made of zirconium oxide operating at temperatures lowered by liquid …

This study investigated the effects of various load conditions on the wear characteristics of
Si3N4 full-ceramic ball bearings in response to 6007 Si3N4 full-ceramic ball bearing …

This paper aims to experimentally assess the performance of plain bearings casted as self-
lubricating composite materials. Metal stir casting is used to prepare plain bearings based …

Based on the proposed loading model of a sliding bearing, the dependence of the load-
bearing capacity of reinforced metal fluoroplastic sliding bearings on their geometric …
