Direct observation of frictional seizure of mild steel sliding on aluminum by X-ray imaging Part II Mechanism
Observation of frictional contacts has always been a problem for long as the contact is normally hidden. In this work, we have used an X-ray microscope for in-situ observation of frictional seizure, wear and i...

Direct observation of frictional seizure of mild steel sliding on aluminum by X-ray imaging Part I Methods
Many of the mechanical or metallurgical failures originate from subsurface cracks or changes in microstructure of the materials. It would be quite informative to material scientists to view the changes below t...

Tribological evaluation of diamond coating on pure titanium in comparison with plasma nitrided titanium and uncoated titanium
Titanium alloys are characterized by poor tribological properties, and the traditional use of titanium alloys has been restricted to nontribological applications. The deposition of a well adherent diamond coat...

Effect of physical and geometrical factors on interfacial debonding in the fibre push-out test: A new strength-based model
A strength-based model for the single-fibre push-out test has been developed. Using this model, the matrix stress, fibre stress and interfacial shear stress in a single fibre specimen subjected to push-out loa...
