A novel formulation for radial fretting wear: Application to false brinelling in thrust bearings
(Elsevier Ltd., 2021)
Radial fretting is defined as the damage caused by the relative motion of a ball under a variable normal load. The conducted experimental tests proved the existence of this damage even in contacting bodies with similar ...
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 ...
Bactericidal Surfaces: An Emerging 21st Century Ultra-Precision Manufacturing and Materials Puzzle
(AIP Publishing, 2021)
Progress made by materials scientists in recent years has greatly helped the field of ultra-precision manufacturing. Ranging from healthcare to electronics components, phenomena such as twinning, dislocation nucleation, ...
Challenges and issues in continuum modelling of tribology, wear, cutting and other processes involving high-strain rate plastic deformation of metals
(Elsevier Ltd., 2022)
Contribution of finite element method (FEM) as a modelling and simulation technique to represent complex tribological processes has improved our understanding about various biomaterials. This paper presents a review of the ...
Numerical-probabilistic assessment of tempered glass failure based on the generalised local model characterised by annealed plates
(Elsevier, 2022)
Large-scale experimental programmes become unavoidable to characterise the fracture behaviour of glass. Additionally, if non-uniform residual stresses are to be considered, the total effort required increases significantly. ...
Numerical methodology based on fluid-structure interaction to predict the residual stress distribution in glass tempering considering non-uniform cooling
(Elsevier, 2022)
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 ...
Development of a novel method to characterize mean surface peak curvature as a signature of tribological performance of dental implant surfaces
(IOP Publishing, 2020)
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, ...
