    Adhesive Wear Particles Generation: by Fracture or Atom-by-Atom?

    01.08.2016 579 Views
    The most famous equation to predict wear known probably to everyone working in the field of tribology  is Archard’s model (1953). The model assumes that wear occurs through the fracture of plastically deformed material and [...]
