TL;DR: In this article, the effect of milling cutter teeth runout on surface topography, surface location error, and stability in end milling was investigated by completing experiments on a precision milling machine with 0.1 μm positioning repeatability and 0.02 μm spindle error motion.

TL;DR: In this paper, a procedure to analyze planar multibody systems in which wear is present at one or more revolute joints is presented, where wear can then be incorporated into the system dynamic analysis by allowing the size and shape of the clearance to evolve as dictated by wear.

TL;DR: In this article, a series of experiments on thin coatings of molybdenum disulfide were conducted to explore the nature of friction, and in particular thermally activated friction in macroscopic tribology.

TL;DR: In this article, two procedures to analyze planar multibody systems experiencing wear at a revolute joint are compared, which consist of coupled iterative analyses between dynamic system analysis with nonideal joints and a wear prediction to determine the evolution of the joint clearance.

TL;DR: In this paper, a linear reciprocating tribometer integrated with a scanning white light interferometer was used to acquire volume loss measurements of the copper counterface, and the wear behavior of a copper fiber brush sliding against a copper counter face in humid environments under high current densities (180 A/cm2) was investigated at low sliding velocities (10 mm/s).
