Abstract: A model for thermal fatigue that accounts for both plastic and elastic strains and a mean strain is developed. The model is based on a combination of the generalized Coffin-Manson Equation ...

Abstract: The wear process between two elastic bodies, repeatedly impacting in an axially symmetric configuration is investigated analytically and experimentally. The mechanism initiating wear is that of ...

Abstract: This study was performed to quantify the amount of oil applied to Au electroplated sample sufaces and to support friction and wear studies performed to determine the optimum metallurgy and ...

Abstract: A simple model is presented for studying the impact between a rigid sphere and a thin layer of relatively soft material supported on a rigid substrate. By assuming that the major loss of ...

Abstract: Many mechanical operations in computers tend to cause wear. The authors grouped the problem areas into the following list: 1. Printers; 2. Magnetic recording technology; 3. Wear by paper; 4. ...
