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

The finite element method (FEM) is a powerful tool for studying friction and wear. Compared
to experimental methods, it has outstanding advantages, such as saving financial costs and …

Hard-on-Hard hip implants, specifically ceramic tribo-pair, have produced the highest in-vivo
wear resistance, biocompatibility, superior corrosion resistance, and high fracture …

The role of friction on wear evolution is manifold since it interplays with lubrication regime,
nominal contact point, and contact pressure distribution. Nevertheless, in the literature many …

In this study, the effect of 3 wt.% of Y addition on the wear behavior of ZK60 extruded alloy
was investigated using both experiment and simulation. First, a pin-on-disc tribometer was …

The wear profile analysis, obtained by different tribometers, is essential to characterise the
wear mechanisms. However, most of the available methods did not take the stress …

A finite element analysis model is presented in this work by implementing the
UMESHMOTION subroutine in the software suite ABAQUS, simulating the sliding wear in a …

Wear is a common issue in the operation of emulsion pumps. When it becomes severe, it
can lead to machine downtime and economic losses. This paper aims to investigate the …

High-pressure valves are an essential infrastructure for hydrogen refueling stations, and the
issue of safety and reliability of their operation affects the efficiency of the entire hydrogen …

Wear resulting from sliding motion is a complex physics problem with multiple spatial and
temporal scales of interest. The novel model involves solving contact mechanics problems in …
