In this study, the general purpose Finite Element Code, ABAQUS, with a non-linear solution has been employed to study the neck profile in drawn polymers. Attempts are made to obtain the relationship between the neck profile, ...

In this study the abrasive wear behaviour of aliphatic polyketone (APK), polyoxymethylene (POM), ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE), polyamide 66 (PA66), and 30% glass fibre reinforced polyphenylenesulfide ...

In this study the wear volume map is obtained and considered for evaluation of the abrasive wear performance for polyamide (PA6) and PA6 composites. Polyamide composites were tailored using 25 wt.% glass bead, 20 wt.% talc ...

In this study, the effect of applied load and sliding speed on friction and wear behaviour of 25 wt% bronze filled polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) composite is experimentally examined and analytically analysed. Friction and ...

An experimental study has been carried out to investigate tensile and bending properties of carbon fiber (CFRE) and glass fiber-reinforced (GFRE) epoxy composites. Three different fiber orientations were applied, 0 degrees, ...

In this investigation, thermal and structure finite element analysis has been employed to analyse the thermal stresses developed in Al2O3-SG, ZrO2-12%Si + Al and ZrO2-SG coatings subjected to thermal loading. Systems with ...

Surface preparation techniques such as plasma spraying, physical vapour deposition and chemical vapour deposition have been used to make convenient material combinations for the use in high-technology requirements. ...

In this investigation, thermal and structural finite element analysis has been employed to analyse the level of stresses developed in Al2O3-spherical cast iron (SG), ZrO2-(12% Si + Al) and ZrO2-SG coatings subjected to ...

In this study, the tribological performances of some neat polymers and graphite and wax filled polymer composites were examined, compared and evaluated. The investigated neat polymers are polyoxymethylene, ultrahigh molecular ...

In this investigation, the influence of test speed and applied pressure values on the friction and wear behaviour of polyamide 66 (PA 66), polyoxymethylene (POM), ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE), 30% glass ...
