Abstract: A Frictionally constrained condition implies dependence of friction force on tangential displacement amplitude. The condition may occur due to chemical, physical, and/or mechanical interaction between the contacting surfaces. ...

Abstract: Surface topography of harder mating surface plays an important role in metal forming operations as it predominantly controls the frictional behavior at the interface. In the present investigation, ...

Abstract: OFHC copper pins with 10 ppm oxygen were slid against alumina at a load of 50 N and sliding speeds of 0.1 ms−1 to 4.0 ms−1 . The wear characteristics of copper were related to the strain ...

Abstract: Finding an optimal investment strategy to use scarce resources efficiently is challenging, since the transportation network parameters such as demand, capacity, and travel cost are uncertain. Sequencing investments over ...

Abstract: In the present investigation, unidirectional grinding marks were created on a set of steel plates. Sliding experiments were then conducted with the prepared steel plates using Al–Mg alloy pins ...

Abstract: Surface texture plays an important role in the frictional behavior and transfer layer formation of contacting surfaces. In the present investigation, basic experiments were conducted using an ...

Abstract: We show that coppermatrix composites that contain 20 vol. % of an in situ processed, polymerderived, ceramic phase constituted from SiCN have unusual frictionandwear properties. They show negligible wear despite a coefficient ...

Abstract: Ti-6Al-4V pins were slid against SS316L disks in pin-on-disk arrangement using pins of different diameters; with the contact pressure maintained the same for all experiments under ambient and vacuum conditions. Characterization ...

Abstract: Conventional transportation network design problems treat origin-destination (OD) demand as fixed, which may not be true in reality. Some recent studies model fluctuations in OD demand by considering the first and the ...
