The tribological and wear properties of carbon-graphite composites

open access: yes, 1994
A range of carbon-graphites with differing properties has been evaluated for wear resistance. These include carbons with a high degree of graphitic order (natural and synthetic graphite), those with little or no such order (pitch bonded cokes, glassy ...

On the scale dependence of coefficient of friction in unlubricated sliding contacts

open access: yes, 2010
Friction at different force, length, and time scales is of great interest in tribology. The mechanical, chemical, and physical (atomic) interactions, each operating at their own force and length scale, make friction a highly scale dependent event.

Microscopic study of thin film lubrication and its contributions to macroscopic tribology

open access: yes, 1998
This review article summarizes recent progress in investigation of nano-rheology and thin film lubrication, as well as their contributions to conventional tribology.

Friction and Wear of Polymer Materials at Cryogenic Temperatures

open access: yes, 2013
Polymers are extensively used for sliding systems in cryogenic applications because of their favourable friction and wear behaviour in the absence of external lubrication.

Analyses And Quantification Of Friction And Wear Processes On The Nanometer Scale

open access: yes, 2011
Friction and wear are understood to be the main phenomena of tribology and are mostly observed on a macroscopic level where the economic effects are noticeable. However, a lot of the tribological fundamental principles are based on, and subsequently have

Tribology theory versus experiment

open access: yes, 1987
Tribology, the study of friction and wear of materials, has achieved a new interest because of the need for energy conservation. Fundamental understanding of this field is very complex and requires a knowledge of solid-state physics, material science ...

A study of friction behaviour and lubricant thickness effects in head disk interface

open access: yes, 1997
In hard disk drives (HDDs), lubricants are commonly accepted to be a main application to reduce the stiction and friction, protect wear and increase the reliability of magnetic storage. Unlike conventional lubrication, the experimental results have shown

The Influence of Internal Tyre Pressure on Road Friction

open access: yes
Road safety is a very important topic for research and development divisions in the automotive industry. As the tyre is the only link between road surface and vehicle, it plays a very significant role in accident mitigation and prevention.

The wear behaviour of ion implanted biomaterials [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
The tribological performance of biomaterials used for artificial joints is of much importance, and require low coefficients of friction, resistance to wear and the ability to withstand many millions of cycles under a multitude of loading regimes ...
