Abstract: Constitutive and dynamic relations for friction coefficient are presented. A first thrust combines the laws of thermodynamics to relate heat, energy, matter, entropy, and work of forces. The equation sums multiple terms—each ...

Abstract: A corrosive wear model is considered at the asperity-scale of a tribocorrosive wear system as well as the traditional Archard-type mechanical wear model. The geometry of the surface asperities is modified in a contact ...

Abstract: Frederick Fongsun Ling died on Nov. 8, 2014 in New York, NY after a distinguished career in tribology that spanned more than 60 years. Professor Ling taught mechanical engineering and mechanics at four universities during ...

Abstract: Abstract. To enhance the service performance of aluminum alloy components used in marine engineering under harsh environments, this study introduces Peano fractal geometry into microtexture design and employs laser ablation ...
