Estimation of the Real Area of Contact in Sliding Systems Using Thermal Measurements
… is to develop a means to estimate time invariant real contact areas and surface temperatures through thermal measurements in 1D/2D systems. This allows computationally easier models, resulting in faster simulations within acceptable convergence. The second objective is to provide experimental …

Micro Surface Texturing for Friction Control
… applications and systems, such as components of internal combustion engines, dies and punches of the metal forming processes and Micro-electrical-mechanical Systems (MEMS). This dissertation demonstrates that under dry sliding, there is a specific significant surface texturing parameter at …

MULTI-SCALE DYNAMICS OF MECHANICAL SYSTEMS WITH FRICTION
Contact between rough surfaces occurs in numerous engineering systems and in many instances influences the macro behavior of the system. In many instances, the interaction between rough surfaces, affect the macro behavior of the system. Effective treatment of systems containing rough surface …

Fundamental studies of the tribological behavior of thin polymeric coatings in fretting contact using infrared and photo/video techniques
Direct measurements of surface temperatures produced during fretting contact are an unknown area in the discipline of tribology; in addition, the possible effects of such temperatures on the behavior of protective anti-fretting coatings (e.g., polymeric) have never been investigated. An oscillating …
