Recently, many studies have investigated the friction, wear, and temperature characteristics of the interface between two relative movements. Such analyses often set the coefficient of friction as a fixed value and are analyzed in cases of two-body contact; however, the interface is often a three-body contact and the coefficient of friction varies depending on the operating conditions. This is a significant error in the analysis of contact characteristics, therefore, in this study, the actual interface and the change of the coefficient of friction were analyzed based on three-body micro-contact theory where the contact temperature was also analyzed and the difference between the generally assumed values were compared. The results showed that under three-body contact, the coefficient of total friction increased with an increase in particle size; and at a different particle size and area density of particles, the surface contact temperature increased with the plasticity index and load increases, and the particle contact temperature increased with the increasing particle size. The surface temperature rise was mainly affected by the ratio of the average temperature between surface 1 and surface 2 to the multiplication between the 100th root of the area density of particles and the square root of the equivalent surface roughness (/) and the ratio of the 10th root of the mean particle diameter to the 100th root of the equivalent surface roughness (/). Particle temperature was mainly affected by the ratio of the 10th root of the mean particle diameter to the 100th root of the equivalent surface roughness (/) and the area density of particles . Our study indicated that when the contact of surface with surface and the contact of the particles with the surface, the resulting heat balance was assigned to the particles and the surface in a three-body contact situation. Under this contact behavior, it could avoid a too high a rise in micro-contact temperature to achieve the material failure temperature.

Objectives: This in vitro study aimed to investigate the toothbrushing wear on both enamel and dentin surfaces of reference and commercially available dentifrices.

Methods: Bovine enamel and dentin blocks were initially polished and embedded within a resin composite in square shapes (10×8×6 mm3). Employing toothbrushes equipped with nylon bristles, a toothbrushing machine was utilized, subjecting dentin specimens (n = 36) to 500 brush cycles and enamel samples to 5000 brush cycles (n = 36).

Article Synopsis
  • This study examines how laser surface modifications can improve wear resistance, hardness, and friction in both dry and lubricated conditions.
  • The research uses nanosecond pulsed laser treatment to create different surface structures on steel, aiming to increase wear resistance and decrease the coefficient of friction (COF).
  • Findings suggest that laser texturing enhances hardness, modifies surface wettability, reduces COF, and promotes better lubrication retention, making it a beneficial technique for industries needing durable materials.

We present computational results of many-body dispersion (MBD) interactions for 40 pairs of molecular and atomic species: hydrocarbons, silanes, corresponding fluorinated derivatives, pairs which have multiple H---H contacts between the molecules, as well as pairs having π-π interactions, and pairs of noble gases. The calculations reveal that the MBD stabilization energy () obeys a global relationship, which is . It is proportional to the product of the masses of the two molecules () and inversely proportional to the corresponding distances between the molecular centers-of-mass () or the H---H distances of the atoms mediating the interactions of the two molecules ().

MoS not only has unique optoelectronic properties realizing photonic and semiconductor applications but also serves as a promising solid lubricant in tribological three-body contacts due to its advantageous friction and wear behavior. Its functionality is defined by elementary processes including strain, oxidation processes, and material mixing. However, these mechanisms were not elucidated for MoS having transferred from the MoS film synthesized at the main body to a steel counter body during tribological ball-on-disk tests.

Article Synopsis
  • Protecting mechanical parts from dust is essential for Moon and Mars missions; this study analyzes how lunar and Martian regolith affects abrasion using specific tests.
  • Results showed friction coefficients stabilized between 0.2 and 0.4 across all simulants, with Martian regolith causing less abrasion than lunar regolith.
  • The abrasion mechanism involved micro-ploughing and micro-cutting, resulting in different wear patterns on the materials tested.
