Role of fabric reinforcement on the low amplitude oscillating wear of polyetherimide composites
(2004)
Influence of fabric reinforcement in polymers is well investigated in the unidirectional sliding wear mode leading to adhesive wear of the composites, but not in the case of low amplitude oscillating (fretting or reciprocating) ...
Effect of impinging velocity on the erosive wear behaviour of polyamides
(2004)
Various parameters, such as type, size and velocity of erodent and impact angle, are important for the erosive wear behaviour of materials. In this work, the erosive wear behaviour of various polyamides (PAs), viz. PA 6, ...
Performance of friction materials based on variation in nature of organic fibres: Part I. Fade and recovery behaviour
(2004)
The loss in braking effectiveness at elevated temperatures and the revival of the same at lower temperatures is referred to as fade and recovery, respectively. These characteristics are of decisive importance in the ...
Wear data analysis of friction materials to investigate the simultaneous influence of operating parameters and compositions
(2004)
The present paper deals with the wear data analysis of friction composites where, the nature and the concentration of the abrasives were varied systematically in steps of 2%. The abrasives selected were; SiC, SiO2, ZrO2 ...
Influence of fibers and solid lubricants on low amplitude oscillating wear of polyetherimide composites
(2004)
The influence of short fiber reinforcement and solid lubricants is widely studied in rotational sliding adhesive wear mode, but not much is reported in low amplitude oscillating wear situation. In this paper a series of ...
Performance of friction materials based on variation in nature of organic fibres: Part II. Optimisation by balancing and ranking using multiple criteria decision model (MCDM)
(2004)
Multiple criteria decision model (MCDM) is used for optimisation of several conflicting criteria dependent systems. A multiple criteria decision model (MCDM) approach taking into account the performance defining attributes ...
Wear of cryo-treated engineering polymers and composites
(1999)
Polymers and composites are extensively used in wear situations dominated by various types of abrasive mechanisms. Incorporation of,heat treatment and surface engineering by various chemical and physical techniques have ...
On the abrasive wear behaviour of fabric-reinforced polyetherimide composites
(2002)
The potential of fabric reinforcement in the thermoplastic polymers for enhancing the abrasive wear resistance has not been explored so far. Hence a series of seven composites of polyetherimide (PEI) reinforced with three ...
Abrasive wear performance of various polyamides
(2002)
Polyamides (PAs) form a major class of tribo-polymers used in almost all types of wear situations. They excel most of the engineering polymers especially in the case of abrasive wear performance. Since methylene (---CH2---) ...
Studies on abrasive wear of carbon fibre (short) reinforced polyamide composites
(1992)
This paper reports the results of the abrasive wear investigations of various composites of polyamide (nylon 6,6) reinforced with increasing amounts of carbon fibre against various abrasive papers under dry conditions. The ...
