An ad-hoc fretting wear tribotester design for thin steel wires
(EDP Sciences, 2018)
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 ...
The use of areal surface topography characterisation in relation to fatigue performance
(EDP Sciences, 2018)
Although the effect of surface topography on fatigue life is widely accepted, the underlying role of surface roughness from first principles is still poorly understood. Currently approaches which consider the ...
Desarrollo de procesos de hidroconformado de chapa de aleaciones de aluminio a temperaturas moderadas
(Mondragon Unibertsitatea. Goi Eskola Politeknikoa, 2009)
This research work is based on two strategic lines at medium and long term: the use of lightweight materials and the development of innovative processes that improve the forming of these materials.
In this thesis, within ...
On the Role of a ZDDP in the Tribological Performance of Femtosecond Laser-Induced Periodic Surface Structures on Titanium Alloy against Different Counterbody Materials
(MDPI, 2019)
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 ...
Surface integrity of additive manufacturing parts: a comparison between optical topography measuring techniques
(Elsevier B.V., 2020)
Additive Manufacturing (AM) presents significant industry-specific advantages allowing the creation of complex geometries and internal features that cannot be produced using conventional manufacturing processes. However, ...
Impact of surface roughness on the coefficient of friction of polymer-on-polymer contacts for deflection pulley-rope systems in the lift industry
(Springer, 2024)
The coefficient of friction (CoF) between the deflection pulley and rope in a lift strongly affects the life span of the rope. Although surface roughness is a key factor affecting the metallic pulley–rope CoF, its effect ...
On the use of machine learning for predicting femtosecond laser grooves in tribological applications
(Elsevier, 2024)
Femtosecond laser surface texturing is gaining increased interest for optimizing tribological behaviour. However, the laser surface texturing parameter selection is often conducted through time-consuming and inefficient ...
The Interaction between the Sheet/Tool Surface Texture and the Friction/Galling Behaviour on Aluminium Deep Drawing Operations
(MDPI, 2021)
The increasing demands for lightweight design in the transport industry have led to an extensive use of lightweight materials such as aluminium alloys. The forming of aluminium sheets however presents significant challenges ...
Dimple prediction modelling in ultrashort laser processing: A benchmark study on ablation threshold determination methods and incubation models
(Elsevier, 2025)
The appropriate selection of ultrashort laser processing parameters is a complex task in which prediction models based on the logarithmic ablation law derived from the Two-Temperature model are commonly used to minimize ...
Ball-on-flat linear reciprocating tests: Critical assessment of wear volume determination methods and suggested improvements for ASTM D7755 standard
(Elsevier B.V., 2021)
This work presents a critical assessment of wear volume determination methods for ball-on-flat linear reciprocating sliding tribological tests. It revealed that the ASTM D7755-11 standard leads to the highest relative ...
