Many mechanical components such as, bearing housings, exible couplings and spines or steel wires are simultaneously subjected to fatigue and fretting damage. Fretting phenomenon arises when two bodies are in contact subjected ...

In this paper a novel numerical methodology for calculating non-uniform residual stress distributions during the glass tempering process is presented. Tempering techniques lead to non-uniform heat transfer rates causing ...

Wear-driven tool failure is one of the main hurdles in the industry. This issue can be addressed through surface coating with ceramic-reinforced metal matrix composites. However, the maximum ceramic content is limited by ...

The integrity of dental implant surfaces might be compromised during surgical insertion. Wear and topographical modifications can occur during implant insertion, which can potentially have clinical implications. Accordingly, ...

El vidrio es ampliamente utilizado en aplicaciones estructurales, estando presente en sectores como el sector de la automoción o el sector de la construcción. El comportamiento estructural del vidrio depende principalmente ...

Steel wire ropes experience fretting wear damage when the rope runs over a sheave promoting an oscillatory motion between the wires. Consequently, wear scars appear between the contacting wires leading to an ...

This work presents a coupled 3D wear and fatigue numerical procedure for fretting problems in ultra-high strength steel wires that combines Archard’s wear equation with the Smith–Watson–Topper parameter to predict crack ...

Fatigue life estimation methods based on time-domain and rainflow counting techniques are widely recognised and accepted for their reliability. However, applying them in scenarios involving random loads with multiple ...

Laser-induced periodic surface structures (LIPSS, ripples) with ~500–700 nm period were produced on titanium alloy (Ti6Al4V) surfaces upon scan processing in air by a Ti:sapphire femtosecond laser. The tribological ...
