Abstract The tribological performance and friction-induced vibration of Gd0.2-Ce0.8O1.9 (GDC) reinforced nickel oxide (NiO) metal matrix composites prepared via sintering on the tribological performance, as well as friction induced vibration were investigated. Compared to pure NiO, the composites exhibit improved mechanical properties, such as a relatively high dislocation density, hardness and small grain size. The results show that GDC-reinforced NiO nanocomposites feature improved tribological performance and can suppress the occurrence of friction-induced vibration under variable loading conditions. Furthermore, the generated acceleration can be suppressed by wear particles generated during the friction process, acting as the third body at the contact interface. As a result, the addition of GDC reduces the grain size of the composite, increases hardness, and improves tribological properties through the synergetic effect of the solid lubricating action of NiO and the role of the third body of the wear particle.

The effect of graphite (Gr) content on tribological performance of copper-matrix composites against H13 steel was investigated using a pin-on-disk test in the range of 3.14–47.1 m/s. The composites with different weight fractions of Gr (up to 18%) were fabricated by powder metallurgy technique. The results showed that the friction coefficient and wear rate generally decreased with the increase in Gr content. However, the friction coefficient and wear rate differ at various speeds. At 200 and 500 r/min, the friction coefficient and wear rate kept lower with the increase in Gr content, because the third body of Cu–Al–3%Gr specimen had strong fluidity and plasticity. By contrast, the particle third body of Cu–Al–12%Gr specimen, which contained higher content of Gr, could roll easily. Increased Gr feeding to the third body was reasonable for the decreasing of friction coefficient and wear with the increasing of the amount of Gr content at the speed in the range of 1000–2000 r/min. Under the high-speed, the friction coefficient showed slight change because the friction temperature induced all the third bodies to extend and flow effortlessly without componential influence. However, wear decreased significantly because the third body possessed more metal, which favored attachment to the counter disk.

Abstract Friction induced vibration at contact interfaces is still a big challenging problem and not well understood how to affect the high cycle fatigue (HCF) failures in gas turbine engine and other machinery. Most researchers conducted on the subject of only two bodies in contact with the Coulomb’s friction law only. In this paper, the interface friction phenomena and induced vibration are investigated by means of the improved third-body composite interface micro-slip model which includes a variable friction coefficient and a flexible contact, represented as effective stiffness and equivalent viscous damping elements. The third-body considered herein is almost always present at contacting interfaces and is comprised of generated wear debris or a soft intermediate anti-fretting coating applied to the mating surfaces. This kind of third-body can be viewed as a thin factional damping material layer to provide shear energy dissipation in order to mitigate the destructive effects of high frequency vibrations in components with highly stressed contacts. A properly engineered third-body can also play the role of both a damping material and a lubricant to decrease wear rate. For the study presented, a semi-empirical formula for the third-body powder properties was employed, depending on the experimental data and the non-linear regression approach. The experimental powder TiO2 data included density, shear strength, frictional coefficients, loss factor as a function of normal load, shear strain, speed and frequency. The results in this paper indicate that the third body semi-empirical equivalent stiffness / viscous damping representation of a flexible contact with variable friction coefficient does indeed have merit and does have influence on overall system response. It has been shown that the third body effects should be considered in the friction and damping induced vibration on the contact interfaces. Such a model may be used to assess designs and material coating approaches to counter fretting in highly stressed contacts as well as assessing the interaction of contact kinematics on HCF failures. Further experimental investigation of specified friction contact configuration of the components needs to be conducted in order to evaluate their friction characteristics and move this technology toward a practical engineering applications.

The third body concept is a pragmatic tool for analyzing and understanding the friction and wear of sliding materials. This approach is based on the dominating role played by the wear particles under dry sliding conditions. These particles constitute the major part of what is called the third body. The third body concept was introduced by Maurice Godet in the middle of the 70’s and developed by Yves Berthier since the end of the 80’s who added complementary conceptual tools as the tribological triplet, the accommodation mechanisms and the tribological circuit. The aim of this paper is to give a synthetic view of these concepts, which involves mechanical, material and physicochemical subjects. Concrete examples and case studies from various practical applications are given to illustrate the validity and the efficiency of such a phenomenological approach.

AbstractThis paper presents a collection of analytical formulae that can be used in the long-term propagation of the motion of a spacecraft subject to low-thrust acceleration and orbital perturbations. The paper considers accelerations due to: a low-thrust profile following an inverse square law, gravity perturbations due to the central body gravity field and the third-body gravitational perturbation. The analytical formulae are expressed in terms of non-singular equinoctial elements. The formulae for the third-body gravitational perturbation have been obtained starting from equations for the third-body potential already available in the literature. However, the final analytical formulae for the variation of the equinoctial orbital elements are a novel derivation. The results are validated, for different orbital regimes, using high-precision numerical orbit propagators.

In this work, vanadium particles (VP) were utilized as a novel reinforcement of AZ31 magnesium (Mg) alloy. The nanocrystalline (NC) AZ31–VP composites were prepared via mechanical milling (MM) and vacuum hot-press sintering. During the milling process, the presence of VP contributed to the cold welding and fracture mechanism, resulting in the acceleration of the milling process. Additionally, increasing the VP content accelerated the grain refinement of the matrix during the milling process. After milling for 90 h, the average grain size of AZ31-X wt % Vp (X = 5, 7.5, 10) was refined to only about 23 nm, 19 nm and 16 nm, respectively. In the meantime, VP was refined to sub-micron scale and distributed uniformly in the matrix, exhibiting excellent interfacial bonding with the matrix. After the sintering process, the average grain size of AZ31-X wt % VP (X = 5, 7.5, 10) composites still remained at the NC scale, which was mainly caused by the pinning effect of VP. Besides that, the porosity of the sintered composites was no more than 7.8%, indicating a good densification effect. As a result, there was little difference between the theoretical and real density. Compared to as-cast AZ31 Mg alloy, the microhardness of sintered AZ31-X wt % VP (X = 5, 7.5, 10) composites increased by 65%, 87% and 96%, respectively, owing to the strengthening mechanisms of grain refinement strengthening, Orowan strengthening and load-bearing effects.

The third-body concept is a pragmatic tool used to understand the friction and wear of sliding materials. The wear particles play a crucial role in this approach and constitute the main part of the third-body. This paper aims to introduce a mathematical model for the motion of a third-body interface separating two surfaces in contact. This model is written in accordance with the formalism of hysteresis operators as solution operators of the underlying variational inequalities. The existence result for this dynamical problem is obtained by using a priori estimates established for Faedo–Galerkin approximations, and some more specific techniques such as anisotropic Sobolev embedding theory.
