Third Body Concept and Wear Particle Behavior in Dry Friction Sliding Conditions

open access: yesKey Engineering Materials, 2015
The third body concept is a pragmatic tool for analyzing and understanding the friction and wear of sliding materials. This approach is based on the dominating role played by the wear particles under dry sliding conditions. These particles constitute the major part of what is called the third body. The third body concept was introduced by Maurice Godet

Material Selection and Geometric Design for Few‐filament Shape Memory Polymer Yarns for Force Generation

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
A custom shape memory polymer material selection process relates quantitative application criteria (e.g., compression garment yarns) to material characterization information. The selected materials are manufactured into yarn geometries, which expand the design space by creating structural stress‐strain profiles beyond the nominal material stress‐strain
