Abstract
Three-phase coupled composites were manufactured to holistically evaluate their load-response mechanisms. Tribological properties in ball-on-disk tests were correlated with GF content and different applied loads. Tribological properties of embedded semirings were better than polymer semirings in semiring tests, resulting in the decrease of COF by 44 %, and the reduction in wear depth by 98.8 %. Embedded semiring with the inclusion of 3 wt% GF possessed remarkable tribological properties, as evidenced by COF of 0.071 and wear rate of 22.7 × 10−4 mm/h. Stress and strain distributions, as well as associated coupling mechanism among all three phases are revealed with the aid of FEA and MD simulation. Overall, this study offers a fundamental theoretical of polymer composites for self-lubricating bearings applications.
期刊介绍:
Tribology is the science of rubbing surfaces and contributes to every facet of our everyday life, from live cell friction to engine lubrication and seismology. As such tribology is truly multidisciplinary and this extraordinary breadth of scientific interest is reflected in the scope of Tribology International.
Tribology International seeks to publish original research papers of the highest scientific quality to provide an archival resource for scientists from all backgrounds. Written contributions are invited reporting experimental and modelling studies both in established areas of tribology and emerging fields. Scientific topics include the physics or chemistry of tribo-surfaces, bio-tribology, surface engineering and materials, contact mechanics, nano-tribology, lubricants and hydrodynamic lubrication.
