Current Studies on Wear Mechanics of Tire

Mechanics Examination on the Wear Behaviour of Shape Memory Alloys

Shape memory alloys are well recognized functional and smart materials, which have been exploited to develop intelligent structures and devices in many fields. Of particular importance is its exciting application in the field of biomechanical engineering. In addition, further potential applications of shape memory alloys are being investigated, such as shape memory alloys-based functional compo...

Drill wear monitoring based on current signals

This paper presents a simple method for on-line wear state monitoring and tool replacement decision-making using spindle motor and feed motor current signals in drilling. In the paper, the effects of tool wear as well as cutting parameters on the cutting current signals are analyzed. The models on the relationship between the current signals and the cutting parameters are established under diff...

Wear Neutral - Current Interactions

Tire-wear particles as a source of zinc to the environment.

Tire-tread material has a zinc (Zn) content of about 1 wt %. The quantity of tread material lost to road surfaces by abrasion has not been well characterized. Two approaches were used to assess the magnitude of this nonpoint source of Zn in the U.S. for the period 1936-1999. In the first approach, tread-wear rates from the automotive engineering literature were used in conjunction with vehicle ...

Wear modelling: analytical, computational and mapping: a continuum mechanics approach

As a result of its widespread and pervasive economic consequences wear, the almost inevitable companion of friction, has been the subject of much scientific and empirical investigation; the literature is rich with ‘wear equations’ so that, on occasion, the practitioner can seem to have too much information rather than too little. Some guidance and reconciliation between analytical and computati...
