Polymeric materials are widely used in aerospace, biomedical, marine, and agricultural
applications due to their viscoelasticity and corrosion resistance. Polymeric materials fail …

The macroscale simulation methods are commonly used to study wear of rotary lip seals.
These methods oftentimes do not address effects of microscopic interfaces, which, according …

This work aims to determine the creep compliance, creep recovery and Poisson's ratio of
three common sealing elastomers by means of the digital image correlation (DIC). The tests …

The most important factor causing surface wear in hydraulic systems is the impact produced
by abrasive particles suspended in the water flow. The impact conditions, such as mean …

The effects of the textured shaft on the wear and sealing performance of rotary lip seals have
recently attracted considerable attention. This paper presents a numerical method for …

Abrasive wear is a common failure phenomenon that often limits the service life of seals. In
this study, the abrasive wear test of acrylonitrile–butadiene rubber against steel was …

Recent advances in mono-and multiphase polymeric composite systems offer unique
possibilities for controlling the friction force and wear loss under self and boundary …

Vegetable oils are potential alternative lubricants for the twofold purpose of achieving good
tribological properties while protecting the environment. However, any intended use of bio …
