Wear Test Combining Simulated Occiusal Wear and Toothbrush Wear

Dental Materials Journal, 2003
A new wear testing system, which carries out toothbrush wear and simulated occlusal wear tests alternately, was developed. Differences in wear behavior among three modes of wears, combined wear, toothbrush wear and simulated occlusal wear, were investigated using polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) and two commercial resin composites (Z100, APX). The area of

Long-Term Wear Monitoring and Wear Prediction by Means of Wear Models

IFAC Proceedings Volumes, 1994
Abstract A method for monitoring and predicting fouling of heat exchangers by means of longterm wear models is described. To monitor progressive fouling, the dependencies between the poles of a second-order transfer-function, the fouling and the operation point are examined.
