Effect of Mo addition on the mechanical and tribological properties of magnetron sputtered TiN films

Ternary-based titanium nitride (TiN) thin films have drawn attention toward rational applications due to their wear resistance, high hardness, and corrosion resistance. The influence of Mo content on the structural, tribo-logical, and mechanical properties ...

Revisiting the role of friction coefficients in granular collapses: confrontation of 3-D non-smooth simulations with experiments

Gauthier Paul Daniel Marie Rousseau

In this paper, transient granular flows are examined both numerically and experimentally. Simulations are performed using the continuous three-dimensional (3-D) granular model introduced in Daviet & Bertails-Descoubes (ACM Trans. Graph., vol. 35, no. 4, 20 ...

An elastic rod in frictional contact with a rigid cylinder

Pedro Miguel Nunes Pereira de Almeida Reis, Paul Grandgeorge, Tomohiko Sano

We investigate the load transmission along an elastic rod of finite cross-section in contact with a rigid cylinder, as system often referred to as the generalized capstan problem. In the presence of friction, the idealized classic capstan equation predicts ...

A Simple Mechanistic Model for Friction of Rough Partially Lubricated Surfaces

Jean-François Molinari, Tobias Brink, Gianluca Costagliola, Julie Richard

We report experimental measurements of friction between an aluminum alloy sliding over steel with various lubricant densities. Using the topography scans of the surfaces as input, we calculate the real contact area using the boundary element method and the ...

Explicit dynamic approach for unbounded domains in frictional contact with Rate and State laws

Jean-François Molinari, Roozbeh Rezakhani

The paper explores the ability of an explicit time integration procedure to simulate the dynamics of shear rupture between unbounded elastic blocks on frictional interface, modeled with the finite element method. The behaviour of the interface is governed ...

Experimental Study of Sliding Friction Damper for High-Performance Steel Structures

Dimitrios Lignos, Martina Paronesso

Passive energy dissipation devices are widely utilized in buildings to minimize structural and non-structural damage under seismic loading. Commonly used devices include, among others, yield, viscous and friction dampers. While the use of yield dampers, su ...

Adhesive wear mechanisms uncovered by atomistic simulations

Jean-François Molinari, Enrico Milanese, Ramin Aghababaei, Tobias Brink, Lucas Henri Galilée Frérot

In this review, we discuss our recent advances in modeling adhesive wear mechanisms using coarse-grained atomistic simulations. In particular, we present how a model pair potential reveals the transition from ductile shearing of an asperity to the formatio ...

Experimental investigation of friction stresses between adjacent panels made of Oriented Strand Board (OSB) and between OSB panels and glued laminated timber (GLT) frame members

Katrin Beyer, René Steiger, Stella Nerbano

The paper presents experimental investigations of friction properties (a) between adjacent sheathing panels made of Oriented Strand Board (OSB) and (b) between OSB panels and glued laminated timber (GLT) frame members as they occur, for example, between pa ...

On the debris-level origins of adhesive wear

Jean-François Molinari, Ramin Aghababaei, Derek Warner

Every contacting surface inevitably experiences wear. Predicting the exact amount of material loss due to wear relies on empirical data and cannot be obtained from any physical model. Here, we analyze and quantify wear at the most fundamental level, i.e., ...

Friction law and hysteresis in granular materials

Matthieu Wyart, Eric DeGiuli

The macroscopic friction of particulate materials often weakens as the flow rate is increased, leading to potentially disastrous intermittent phenomena including earthquakes and landslides. We theoretically and numerically study this phenomenon in simple g ...

Monte Carlo simulations of the static friction between two grafted polymer brushes

Dominic John Tildesley

A configurational bias Monte Carlo method has been developed to study the static friction between grafted polymers immersed in a good solvent. Simple models using the soft quadratic potential from a dissipative particle dynamics study have been used to mod ...

The role of viscoelasticity on heterogeneous stress fields at frictional interfaces

Jean-François Molinari, Mathilde Edmée Lucette Radiguet de la Bastaie, David Simon Kammer

We investigate the evolution of heterogeneous stress states along frictional in- terfaces. Using finite-element simulations, we model the occurrence of precur- sory slip sequences on a deformable-deformable as well as a deformable-rigid interface between t ...

Relations between roughness, temperature and dry sliding friction at the atomic scale

Jean-François Molinari, Guillaume Anciaux, Peter Spijker

We investigate the friction of deformable bodies, with nano-scale self-affine fractal rough surfaces, at the atomic scale using molecular dynamics. Different temperatures (0-400 K) are studied, while roughness and applied load are changed. During sliding, ...

Wear of CoCrMo alloys used in metal-on-metal hip joints: A tribocorrosion appraisal

Stefano Mischler

A good biocompatibility, excellent mechanical properties and high corrosion resistance characterize CoCrMo alloys. Therefore they are widely used for artificial joints in biomedical implants. However, the degradation of the implants during service life lea ...

Third body effects on friction and wear during the fretting of steel contacts

Stefano Mischler

Frettingwear proceeds through particle detachment from the contacting surfaces which, while trapped in the contact zone, can affect the frictional and wear response. Ball-on-flat fretting experiments were carried out between steel specimens under gross sli ...

New slip synthesis and theoretical approach of CVT slip control

Yves Rothenbühler

Today's vehicle must be efficient in terms of gas (CO2, NOx) emissions and fuel consumption. Due to improvements in material and oil, the continuous variable transmission (CVT) is now making a breakthrough in the automotive market. The CVT decouples the en ...
