The tribology and wear protection of coatings has been an active rapidly developing area for research industries in recent years, with innovative coating materials, structures, fabrication technologies [...]

Different parallelization methods vary in their system requirements, programming styles, efficiency of exploring parallelism, and the application characteristics they can handle. For different situations, they can exhibit totally different performance gains. This paper compares OpenMP, MPI, and Strings for parallelizing a complicated tribology problem. The problem size and computing infrastruct...

A brief analysis of entropy concepts in continuum mechanics and thermodynamics is presented. The methods of accounting for friction, wear and fatigue processes in the calculation of the thermodynamic entropy are described. It is shown that these and other damage processes of solids are more adequately described by tribo-fatigue entropy. It was established that mechanothermodynamic entropy calcu...

Tribology has been and will continue to be one of the most significant subjects due its prevalence in practically every part our lives [...]

Abstract For the final quality of part, metal forming trends are depending on improvements friction and tribology. As a consequence, there is trend in which tribology becoming increasingly important for correctly replicating simulation those parts. The objective this work was to improve an automotive shell part AutoForm. provided by vehicle industry supplier. Enhanced Coulomb models consider ch...
