Some soil-burrowing animals and other biological organisms living in contact with abrasive materials have surfaces optimized for reducing drag and wear. In this study, bio-inspired embossed surfaces consisting of an array of convex domes are investigated to quantify their abrasive wear resistance properties. The experimental procedure proposed in this work is based on sliding seven different embossed...
Natural biomaterials have unique structures and some distinguishing properties for adapting themselves to natural surroundings. Bamboo is a natural composite reinforced with longitudinal fibers (vascular fibers). The abrasive wear property of the cross section of bamboo (Phyllostachys pubescens) stem was examined. The abrasive material used for tests was the mixture of quartz sand (96.5wt.%) and powdered...
