The high computational cost of population based optimization methods, such as multi-
objective genetic algorithms (MOGAs), has been preventing applications of these methods …

The investigation of lubricated friction and wear is an extended study. The aim of this study is
to investigate the friction and wear characteristics of double fractionated palm oil (DFPO) as …

A model for elastic-plastic nominally flat contacting rough surfaces under combined normal
and tangential loading with full stick contact condition is presented. The model incorporates …

In automotive engineering, the safety aspect has been considered as a number one priority
in development of a new vehicle. Each single system has been studied and developed in …

This study evaluates the performance of three lubricants on reducing friction between
wellbore and coiled tubing (CT) and hence improving axial force transfer, reducing buckling …

Safety aspect in automotive engineering has been considered as a number one priority in
development of new vehicle. Each single system has been studied and developed in order …

The purpose of this study is to examine the humidity effect on the coefficient of friction and
wear. In this study different identical samples were tested at different humidity conditions of …

A nontraditional evaluation tool is introduced to examine the effects of different materials, in
practical applications, that are used in fabricating disc brake components for commonly used …

A mathematical model is developed to correlate the volumetric wear of materials with the
dissipation energy in sliding contacts. In the analysis, the wear of contacting materials …

The work examines the effects of frequencies of vibrations at different amplitudes on friction
force, axial force transfer, and lock-up force of buckled rod constrained in a horizontal …
