Wear particles often agglomerate into cohesive transfer films (so-called 3rd body) during dry friction. Although described in terms of load carrying capacity and velocity accommodation, the 3rd body finally became a kind of black box where the comprehension of the real interactions, which occur in the tribocontact, can be unknown. We study the behaviour and the mechanisms of action of the 3rd body...
The initial part of load/penetration plot in depth sensing spherical indentation (nano-indentation) is analysed. The results of a numerical study using a specifically developed simulation tool based on the boundary element method are presented.They reveal that the usual linear relationship between the indentation depth and the square of the contact radius for homogeneous materials is also valid in...
