  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. 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.

  4. 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

  5. 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 ...

  6. Tribology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tribology

    Tribology is the science and engineering of understanding friction, lubrication and wear phenomena for interacting surfaces in relative motion.It is highly interdisciplinary, drawing on many academic fields, including physics, chemistry, materials science, mathematics, biology and engineering. [1]

  7. Physical coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_coefficient

    Partition coefficient (K D) - The ratio of concentrations of a compound in two phases of a mixture of two immiscible solvents at equilibrium. Hall coefficient (electrical physics) - Relates a magnetic field applied to an element to the voltage created, the amount of current and the element thickness. It is a characteristic of the material from ...

  8. Physics of failure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physics_of_failure

    where ε f is a fatigue ductility coefficient, c is a time and temperature dependent constant, F is an empirical constant, L D is the distance from the neutral point, α is the coefficient of thermal expansion, ΔT is the change in temperature, and h is solder joint thickness. Steinberg: [16] Predicts time to failure of solder joints exposed to ...

  9. Contact mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contact_mechanics

    Greenwood and Williamson in 1966 (GW) [31] proposed a theory of elastic contact mechanics of rough surfaces which is today the foundation of many theories in tribology (friction, adhesion, thermal and electrical conductance, wear, etc.). They considered the contact between a smooth rigid plane and a nominally flat deformable rough surface ...
