The purpose of this chapter is to rationalize and highlight some important established
phenomena in polymer tribology. Explanations are presented, where appropriate, on the …

We present fretting wear analysis of a dry Ti-6Al-4V cylinder/plane contact, investigating
sliding frequency, contact size, and cyclic normal force effects. The investigation showed that …

Fretting is a surface-degradation process due to mechanical and chemical attack by small-
amplitude oscillatory movement between two contacting surfaces and it is intimately related …

Groove surface textures with different orientations and spacings were prepared on the Ti–
6Al–4V alloy by using a laser. Fretting tests (rubbed with a Ti–6Al–4V ball) were conducted …

After a short background history on solid third bodies, this paper proposes a tribological
approach for understanding how a contact takes place when first bodies are in relative …

Abstract Al 2 O 3-TiB 2-TiC ceramic coatings with high microhardness and wear resistance
were fabricated on the surfaces of carbon steel substrates by laser cladding using different …

A conceptually new simulation system for the laboratory investigation of fretting wear is
described. Fretting vibrations are generated either directly by oscillating a linear relative …

A finite element based critical plane approach is developed incorporating the Smith–Watson–
Topper (SWT) multiaxial fatigue criterion. The approach is applied to a cylinder-on-flat …

The possibility of increasing fretting fatigue life of a tribo-pair by laser surface texturing
technology is studied. An appropriate experimental fretting fatigue device is used to conduct …

Fretting corrosion behavior and damage mechanism of Zr-4 alloy mated with Inconel 718
alloy under different fretting regimes in high temperature high pressure water were studied …
