Surface erosion is a critical factor in the design and operation of components in particulate
handling services. It affects their performance, reliability, and service life. In spite of decades …

Total joint replacements (TJR) have been a huge success for orthopaedic surgery in the past
century and are gaining increasing importance today due to the aging population. However …

During the last century, natural fibers and particulates are used as reinforcement in polymer
composite that has been continuously growing in the composite industry. This polymer …

The erosion efficiency (η) of polymers and polymeric composites has been evaluated by
collecting the available data from the literature pertaining to solid particle erosion under …

The topic of this thesis is damage of hydraulic machinery due to sand erosion. This is a very
