Thermo-Mechanical Instabilities in Next-Generation Friction Materials in High-Speed Sliding Systems
… thermo-mechanical instabilities (TMI) in high-speed sliding systems. Unfortunately, these metals have adverse environmental effects due to the emission of hazardous particulate matter. As a result, there is a growing movement towards adopting next-generation friction materials as an …

The onset of gouging in high-speed sliding contacts
Hypervelocity gouging occurs in high speed sliding systems such as rocket sled test tracks, light gas guns, and railguns. Gouging takes the form of teardrop-shaped craters on the rail surface, and usually only occurs above a threshold speed which is dependent on the slider and rail material …
