Abstract: Wear is a complex phenomenon taking place as two bodies in relative motion are brought into contact with each other. There are many different types of wear, for example, sliding, fretting, surface fatigue, and combinations ...

Abstract: Press hardening is employed in the automotive industry to produce advanced high-strength steel components for safety and structural applications. This hot forming process depends on friction as it controls the deformation ...

Abstract: In order to adapt to increasingly stringent CO2 regulations, the automotive industry must develop and evaluate low cost, low emission solutions in the powertrain technology. This often implies increased power density and ...

Abstract: A very important aspect in highly inclined wellbores is the mechanical friction. For extended reach drilling (ERD) and through tubing extended reach drilling (TTERD) this can be a limiting factor. Friction caused by the ...
