Research Initiation Award: Fatigue Wear, Material Transfer, and Surface Enhancement of Polymers and Polymer Composites

为了进一步建立磨屑产生的模型，将对聚合物和聚合物复合材料的磨损进行研究。转移膜的形成将遵循并与表面处理技术相关。这些将被设计成传递受控制的表面特征。还将研究在非常光滑的对接表面上滑动时的表面裂纹磨损。这些发现将与一个基于二维非赫兹应力系统的模型有关。

The wear of polymers and polymer composites will be studied in order to further develop a model for wear debris generation. Transfer film formation will be followed and related to surface preparation techniques. These will be designed to impart controlled surface features. The wear by surface cracking for sliding against very smooth counterfaces will also be studied. The findings will be related to a model based on two- dimensional non-Hertzian stress systems.
