Abstract: The interference fit is a common method for creating mechanical assemblies. When manufacturing the individual components to be assembled in this method, close dimensional control of the mating ...

Abstract: Wear due to relative motion between component surfaces is one of the primary modes of failure for many engineered systems. Unfortunately, it is difficult to accurately predict component life ...

Abstract: The experimental evaluation of friction coefficient is a common laboratory procedure; however, the corresponding measurement uncertainty is not widely discussed. This manuscript examines the ...
