However, during their operating life, responsible parts subject to complex loads may change and their properties might deteriorate. To ensure structural integrity it is necessary to monitor and regularly check the performance of composite structures. This paper investigates the change of frequency characteristics of two rectangular composite (carbon-epoxy) plates after inflicting structural damage. Following the necessary preparation of the structure's upper surfaces by white-and-black stochastic pattern, the responses (free vibratory movement) of structures to momentary excitation were recorded by an optical, contactless 3D digital image correlation (DIC) system that contains a set of ultrafast cameras. In order to determine the natural frequencies of the plates, the recorded time-domain responses were post-processed, i.e. converted to the frequency domain by fast Fourier transform (FFT). The reduction in values of natural frequencies is observed on the damaged structures. The performed experiments demonstrate the applicability of the DIC method in the structural health monitoring of composite parts.","PeriodicalId":140630,"journal":{"name":"Tribology and Materials","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127115865","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The mathematical model is proposed for the prognosis of the COF of brake pad material, by considering the contact mechanics between the interfacing surface and their material properties. The Greenwood-Williamson contact model is applied for rough contact surfaces for the estimation of the real contact radius. A MATLAB program has been formulated for generating the surface of brake pad material by considering its material properties which aid in the analytical evaluation of the COF. The proposed model is further validated with experimentation on pin-on-disc apparatus, as it is considered suitable for friction pad product testing according to previous research. The 25 pins were fabricated as per the ASTM G99 test for testing under varying loads and speeds. The obtained results showed that the range of COF has been between 0.2 and 0.4. The investigation presents an analytical approach for estimating COF and contact radius for brake disc and brake pad, which can be used to design an efficient automotive brake disc-brake pad system under the given load and rotational speed. The artificial neural network (ANN) is modelled for predicting the values of the COF for brake disc-brake pad systems, which can be further used for determining the tribological properties of new friction materials and their compatibility for efficient brake systems.","PeriodicalId":140630,"journal":{"name":"Tribology and Materials","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126403034","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For this purpose, the use of welding sheet metal is one of the successful techniques. Welded sheets are formed by combining two or more flat materials with different thicknesses and different mechanical properties, using the welding method, before being shaped in order to provide superior properties. This situation requires more attention during the shaping stages. It is important to calculate the pressures to be applied to the welding areas and to apply the shaping steps in a way that will not reduce the material strength. For this reason, the production stages of the dies to be used in the manufacture of these parts are just as important. In this study, an innovative die design is carried out for the production of welded sheet metal. The microstructure and mechanical properties of the welded sheet formed by the die were examined. The effect of the forces applied to the welding areas on the material and the mechanical properties of the materials of different thicknesses were determined. Within the scope of the study, microstructure analysis, hardness and tensile tests were carried out and the results were examined. When the results obtained were examined, it was seen that the strength and hardness values of the samples obtained from the welded area were higher than the other areas.","PeriodicalId":140630,"journal":{"name":"Tribology and Materials","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116944999","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nanoparticles are added to metal, ceramic and polymer materials to produce nanocomposite materials. Polymer matrix nanocomposites have advantages over other materials in terms of weight, performance and price. As known from the literature, imparting electrical conductivity to thermoplastic materials such as polylactic acid (PLA) is possible. The industrial use of thermoplastic matrix has been the focus of nanocomposites due to its low cost, ease of production and recycling. Research on the use of 3D printers in the production of nanoscale-doped thermoplastics has been less common. 3D printing is an additive manufacturing method compared to traditional processing methods. Additive manufacturing is based on adding layer by layer to reduce production costs and reduce the production cycle. This study prepared nanocomposite material by adding nano-sized graphene and Si3N4 to PLA material at 0.5, 1, 2 and 3 wt. %. The prepared polymer matrix nanocomposite groups were produced using a fused filament fabrication (FFF-3D) printer and their electrical conductivity was examined at the five different points by the four-point probe method. According to the test results, the electrical conductivities of 1 and 2 % doped PLA are very close. But the 1 % doped samples is the composite group with the best conductivity with a value of 153.44 S/m. A value of 151.25 S/m followed this for 2 % doped PLA and 138.57 S/m for 3 % doped PLA. Thus, it was concluded that the electrical conductivity was reduced with the increased dope rate. Also, all samples' hardness was measured by the Shore D test. Although the increase in the hardness value of the samples did not affect as much as the increase in the dope ratio, the hardness values increased with the increase in the nanoadditive ratio.","PeriodicalId":140630,"journal":{"name":"Tribology and Materials","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114468905","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One approach to meet the increased requirements is to use new high-performance raceway steels. Particularly for a highly stressed lubricant film, where seizure may occur, the bearing material properties can make a key contribution in increasing the lifetime. In the following, the test results of hybrid spindle bearings of type 7008 made of nitriding steel are analysed. The bearings were tested in an endurance run for a constant speed parameter of 2.5 million ndm and a maximum contact stress of 2,900 MPa at the inner ring contact. The operational behaviour was validated based on the bearing outer ring temperature and the acceleration level in the test rig. A further sample test in endurance runs with an increased speed parameter of 2.8 million ndm and a maximum contact stress of 3,200 MPa at the inner ring shows that the performance limit of the bearing is even higher than initially assumed. The microscope analyses of the bearing steels after the test show low wear. An analysis of the test conditions in terms of contact stresses, lifetime and the pv value illustrates that the bearings can run far above standard conditions. The experimental results show that the operational limits of hybrid spindle bearings with a raceway made of nitriding steels are significantly higher than expected.","PeriodicalId":140630,"journal":{"name":"Tribology and Materials","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135107193","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This friction generally generates heat, which can affect the performance of the rolling bearing. To date, numerous studies have assumed that the contact surface between the inner components of the bearing is circular and stationary. While this assumption has yielded adequate results, it is not sufficient in the case of angular contact ball bearings, where the contact surfaces are elliptical and could be treated as either stationary or moving heat sources. This paper presents solutions for both, stationary and moving heat sources for elliptical contact surfaces in a spindle rolling bearing. The primary objective is to find the thermal contact resistances which are dependent on the shape of contact, the loads, the rotational speed and the material properties thereof, applying the mathematical expressions developed by Muzychka and Yovanovich. These expressions were used to calculate various thermal resistances, providing results applicable to the analysis of thermal models in spindle rolling elements. Through finite element analysis (FEA) performed in Ansys Workbench, the stationary and moving heat sources were compared, finding the heat distribution along the elements of the bearing. The findings herein are suitable for the creation of thermal networks in rolling bearings, which are essential to predict their thermal behaviour.","PeriodicalId":140630,"journal":{"name":"Tribology and Materials","volume":"111 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135106529","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
