General reductions in lubricant viscosities and increasing loads in machine components highlight the role of tribofilms in providing surface protection against scuffing.However,the relationship between the scuffing pr...
Carbon fiber reinforced polytetrafluoroethylene (CF/PTFE) composites are known for their exceptional tribological performance when sliding against steel or cast iron in inert gas environments. Compared to experiments ...
Lubricated contact processes are studied using classical molecular dynamics simulations for determining the entire range of the Stribeck curve.Therefore,the lateral movement of two solid bodies at different gap height...
