The wear behavior and service life of Madar and Bauhinia Racemosa reinforced polyester hybrid composites for gear applications

Determination of Wear, Friction Behavior and Characterization of Carbon Fiber Reinforced Epoxy Composites for Transport Applications

“…Here m 1 and m 2 are specimen mass before and after testing in g, ρ g is the density of the specimen (g/cm 3 ), P is the normal load in N and S is the sliding distance in m. Subsequent to sputtering with gold coating, worn out surfaces of the pins were identified with SEM [20][21][22] .…”

Service life assessment of yttria stabilized zirconia (YSZ) based thermal barrier coating through wear behaviour

“…Therefore, estimating the period determining the life of the YSZ-coated superalloys is pivotal in selecting for high-temperature applications under the influence of the prevalent failure conditions [ 22 , 23 ]. For this purpose, the wear test has proved to be the first choice for several research studies and industrial experimentation for predicting the approximate service life of TBCs under constant friction and wear attacks [ 24 , 25 ]. Hence, in this present study, an attempt has been made to track the history of wear and degradation of the TBCs through a comparative analysis of the coatings obtained after different intervals of degradation considering multiple modes of failure during the lifetime of the TBC with an aim towards obtaining a rough prediction of the remnant lifetime of the coatings.…”
