This review summarizes recent advances in the area of tribology based on the outcome of a
Lorentz Center workshop surveying various physical, chemical and mechanical phenomena …

In typical metallic contacts, stresses are very high and result in yielding of the material.
Therefore, the study of contacts which include simultaneous elastic and plastic deformation …

Living organisms such as fishes, cephalopods and clams are cryptically coloured with a
wide range of hues and patterns for camouflage, signalling or energy regulation. Despite …

Tribological behavior of the model AlCoCrFeNi 2.1 eutectic high-entropy alloy (EHEA)
sliding against different counterfaces including Al 2 O 3, Si 3 N 4, SiC ceramics and GCr15 …

Surface cleaning using cavitation bubble dynamics is investigated numerically through
modeling of bubble dynamics, dirt particle motion, and fluid material interaction. Three fluid …

Thank you for opening the third edition of this monograph. The first edition [202] was
published in 1996 in the Lecture Notes in Control and Information Sciences series (vol. 220) …

An elastic-plastic finite element model for the frictionless contact of a deformable sphere
pressed by a rigid flat is presented. The evolution of the elastic-plastic contact with …
