The blast erosion behaviour of ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene

Solid particle erosion studies on polyphenylene sulfide composites and prediction on erosion data using artificial neural networks

“…The values of n are in the range of 2.0-3.2, except for neat PPS at 90 • impingement angle (n = 1.38). The influence of impact velocity on erosion rate of polymer composites has been investigated to limited extent [2,18,30,[34][35][36]. According to Pool et al [34], for polymeric materials behaving in ductile manner, typically 2 < n < 3 while for polymer composites behaving in a brittle fashion, typically 3 < n < 5.…”

Heat treatment effect on erosion behavior of poly(methylmethacrylate) for optical transmittance efficiency

“…One is parallel (F p ) to the material surface that controls the abrasive wear and the other is vertical (F v ) to the material surface responsible for the impact phenomena. It is essential, that ductile erosion at low angles occurs by microcutting and microploughing due to the decisive role of the F p , while at high angles all available impact energy dissipation is due to microcracking and plastic deformation [52,53]. Also, it can be said that at low angles the erosion may proceed by a catastrophic tearing process which shows many similarities to that occurring during sliding abrasion by a blade or by a smooth indenter [54].…”

Investigation on solid particle erosion behavior of date palm leaf fiber- reinforced polyvinyl pyrrolidone composites

“…at normal erosion, the effects of F p become marginal. In this case all the available energy is dissipated by impact and micro-cracking while at oblique angles the damage occurs by micro-cutting and micro-ploughing 35,36 because of the decisive role of F p .…”
