There has been tremendous interest in the development of different innovative wear‐
resistant materials, which can help to reduce energy losses resulted from friction and wear …

Rolling element bearings are the most critical parts of any rotary mechanism. One of the
challenges in any bearing design is to minimize the friction and maximize life for a particular …

Abstract The potential of Wear-Mechanism Diagrams is explored. Diagrams which show the
rate and the regime of dominance of each of a number of mechanisms of dry wear …

The fundamental mechanisms of sliding wear postulated by the delamination theory of wear
are reviewed in terms of the experimental and analytical work done to date at MIT. Each of …

The dry sliding wear performance of discontinuously reinforced aluminum (DRA) as
investigated by numerous studies during the last two decades is reviewed and discussed. In …

The friction and wear behavior of composites (ie uniaxially oriented graphite fiber-epoxy,
Kevlar fiber-epoxy and biaxially oriented glass fiber-MoS 2-polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)) …

Wear is one of the most fundamental topics in tribology and adhesive wear is argued as the
least avoidable wear type. Numerical techniques have allowed advances in more realistic …

The interaction of a Hertzian contact, including friction, with an angled surface-breaking
crack is studied with a view toward qualitatively explaining certain aspects of rolling contact …

Wear mechanisms may be briefly classified by mechanical, chemical and thermal wear
whose wear modes are further classified into seven. Some of them have wear models and …

Wear behavior of AISI D2 steel specimens subjected to varied sub-zero treatments, namely:
cold treatment, shallow cryogenic treatment and deep cryogenic treatment have been …
