The tribological behaviour of thin films for tribological applications is commonly tested for failure using a variety of model tests and destructive characterisation methods. Typically, these tests are based on strongly simplified mechanical test conditions compared to the complex load situation occurring in most real applications. Thus, slip-rolling, fretting, and cyclic indentation behaviour may...
Tribologically loaded polymer parts such as gears, bearings and other machine elements are exposed to a load spectrum, which is composed, amongst others, of a relative movement, causing heat and wear, and a surface pressure in an application dependent environment. This is especially true for systems without external lubrication, where melting, material fatigue and wear are the lifetime-limiting factors...
