  2. Wear coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wear_coefficient

    The wear rate per unit sliding distance in the transient wear regime decreases until it has reached a constant value in the steady-state wear regime. Hence the standard wear coefficient value obtained from a volume loss versus distance curve is a function of the sliding distance. [3]

  3. Archard equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archard_equation

    The Archard wear equation is a simple model used to describe sliding wear and is based on the theory of asperity contact. The Archard equation was developed much later than Reye's hypothesis [] (sometimes also known as energy dissipative hypothesis), though both came to the same physical conclusions, that the volume of the removed debris due to wear is proportional to the work done by friction ...

  4. Wear - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wear

    The wear rate is affected by factors such as type of loading (e.g., impact, static, dynamic), type of motion (e.g., sliding, rolling), temperature, and lubrication, in particular by the process of deposition and wearing out of the boundary lubrication layer. [5] Depending on the tribosystem, different wear types and wear mechanisms can be observed.

  5. Abrasion (mechanical) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abrasion_(mechanical)

    The Archard equation is a simple model used to describe sliding wear and is based on the theory of asperity contact. [1] = where: Q is the total volume of wear debris produced K is the wear coefficient W is the total normal load L is the sliding distance H is the hardness of the softest contacting surfaces

  6. Paschen's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paschen's_law

    Paschen's law is an equation that gives the breakdown voltage, that is, the voltage necessary to start a discharge or electric arc, between two electrodes in a gas as a function of pressure and gap length.

  7. Surface roughness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_roughness

    Roughness plays an important role in determining how a real object will interact with its environment. In tribology, rough surfaces usually wear more quickly and have higher friction coefficients than smooth surfaces. Roughness is often a good predictor of the performance of a mechanical component, since irregularities on the surface may form ...

  8. Washburn's equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Washburn's_equation

    The equation is named after Edward Wight Washburn; [1] also known as Lucas–Washburn equation, considering that Richard Lucas [2] wrote a similar paper three years earlier, or the Bell-Cameron-Lucas-Washburn equation, considering J.M. Bell and F.K. Cameron's discovery of the form of the equation in 1906.

  9. Langmuir (unit) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Langmuir_(unit)

    The following equation can be used to easily convert between the two: [] = [] [] Here, and are any two numbers whose product equals the desired Langmuir value, is an integer allowing different magnitudes of pressure or exposure time to be used in conversion. The units are represented in the [square brackets].
