In a tribo-system, the frictional resistance during a sliding process depends on several parameters. These parameters include the interacting materials, their surface topography, contact conditions such as normal load, ...

Large strain plastic deformation is central to manufacturing operations like metal cutting, rolling, and extrusion. Standard approaches for describing and understanding this deformation, such as analytical methods, numerical ...

In tribology engineering, friction control is a significant challenge. The interacting surfaces of mechanical components are typically designed for best efficiency during tribological operations and are primarily achieved ...

This thesis presents a comprehensive study on the development and validation of force-controlled tribometers to accurately evaluate tribo-contacts under realistic test conditions. The research addresses the gap in conventional ...
