The delamination theory of wear
TL;DR: A new theory for wear of metals is considered in this article, which is based on the behavior of dislocations at the surface, sub-surface crack and void formation, and subsequent joining of cracks by shear deformation of the surface.
Journal ArticleDOI
Abrasive wear mechanisms and the grit size effect
TL;DR: In this article, it is shown that the grit size effect is a consequence of the transition from a cutting mechanism to a sliding wear mechanism, and that the wear coefficient is less than that predicted by a cutting model owing to the plastic deformation of the surface being worn.
Journal ArticleDOI
Boundary Lubrication Studies on Undulated Titanium Surfaces
TL;DR: In this paper, the role of surface undulations in boundary lubricated sliding was investigated, and it was shown that the plowing friction component can be substantially reduced by means of surfaces undulations.

Finite element analysis of an elastic-plastic two-layer half-space: sliding contact
Hong Tian,Nannaji Saka +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a finite element stress and strain analysis of the sliding contact of a two-layer elastic-plastic half-space for various friction coefficients was conducted, and it was found that surface deformation, location of initial yielding, stresses and strains along the interfaces between layers strongly depend on the friction coefficient.
