The conditions for the appearance of thermoelastic instability are determined by modeling of the frictional heating during sliding of the surface of an inhomogeneous material having a periodic structure, consisting of elements with different thermophysical properties. Cases of the absence of wear and steady-state wear conditions with a linear dependence of the wear rate on the applied pressure and sliding speed are considered. Keywords: inhomogeneous material, matrix, fiber, thermoelastic instability, wear, periodic structure. [email protected]

The present investigation deals with the examination of the sliding wear response of a gray cast iron in oil lubricated condition over a range of applied pressure. The composition of the oil lubricant was changed by adding 5.26 wt % solid lubricant particles. The solid lubricants used were graphite, talc, MoS2, and lead. The observed wear response of the samples has been substantiated through the characteristics of wear surfaces, subsurface regions, and debris particles and discussed in terms of specific response of different microconstituents, such as ferrite, pearlite, and graphite present therein. Operating wear mechanisms were assessed through the observed features of wear surfaces, subsurface regions, and debris. The wear rate increased with applied pressure. The slope of the wear rate versus pressure plots was low up to a critical pressure. This was followed by a sudden rise in the slope at higher pressures irrespective of the test environment. The frictional heating was affected by pressure in a manner practically identical to that of the wear rate. The presence of graphite, MoS2, and lead in the oil led to a substantial decrease in the wear rate and severity of frictional heating. The oil plus lead lubricant mixture was observed to offer best results in terms of reduced wear rate and lower frictional heating. This was followed by the ones containing graphite and MoS2 while talc caused the wear performance of the samples to deteriorate over that of the bare oil. However, the severity of frictional heating decreased in general in the oil containing solid lubricant particles. Seizure brought about high frictional heating and wear rate.

The next generation of thermal interface materials (TIMs) are currently being developed to meet the increasing demands of high-powered semiconductor devices. In particular, a variety of nanostructured materials, such as carbon nanotubes (CNTs), are interesting due to their ability to provide low resistance heat transport from device-to-spreader and compliance between materials with dissimilar coefficients of thermal expansion (CTEs), but few application-ready configurations have been produced and tested. Recently, we have undertaken major efforts to develop functional nanothermal interface materials (nTIMs) based on short, vertically aligned CNTs grown on both sides of a thin interposer foil and interfaced with substrate materials via metallic bonding. A high-precision 1D steady-state test facility has been utilized to measure the performance of nTIM samples, and more importantly, to correlate performance to the controllable parameters. In this paper, we describe our material structures and the myriad permutations of parameters that have been investigated in their design. We report these nTIM thermal performance results, which include a best to-date thermal interface resistance measurement of 3.5 mm2 K/W, independent of applied pressure. This value is significantly better than a variety of commercially available, high-performance thermal pads and greases we tested, and compares favorably with the best results reported for CNT-based materials in an application-representative setting.

Wear rates obtained from different investigators could vary significantly due to lack of a standard test method. A test methodology is therefore proposed in this paper to enable the steady-state wear rate to be determined more accurately, consistently, and efficiently. The wear test will be divided into four stages: (i) to conduct the transient wear test; (ii) to predict the steady-state wear coefficient with the required sliding distance based on the transient wear data by using Yang’s second wear coefficient equation; (iii) to conduct confirmation runs to obtain the measured steady-state wear coefficient value; and (iv) to convert the steady-state wear coefficient value into a steady-state wear rate. The proposed methodology is supported by wear data obtained previously on aluminium based matrix composite materials. It is capable of giving more accurate steady-state wear coefficient and wear rate values, as well as saving a lot of testing time and labour, by reducing the number of trial runs required to achieve the steady-state wear condition.

ABSTRACTMaterials in use or under consideration for many applications in new and emerging technologies are often available only in small quantities and many times in the form of thin films, wafers and sheets. Such size and form limitations present a number of challenges to those wishing to evaluate thermal performance characteristics. This has resulted in a need to develop totally new transient or modify current transient and steady state techniques significantly. Various new or modified techniques to measure thermophysical properties are described. Illustrations of, applications to and results on semiconductors, superconductors, diamonds, polymers, composites and layered structures will be discussed.

Thermoelastic instability in automotive drum brake systems is investigated using a finite layer model with one-sided frictional heating. With realistic material properties of automotive brakes, the stability behavior of the one-sided heating mode is similar to that of the antisymmetric mode of two-sided heating but the critical speed of the former is higher than that of the latter. The effects of the friction coefficient and brake material properties on the critical speeds are examined and the most influential properties are found to be the coefficient of friction and the thermal expansion coefficient of drum materials. Vehicle tests were performed to observe the critical speeds of the drum brake systems with aluminum drum materials. Direct comparisons are made between the calculation and measurement for the critical speed and hot spot spacing. Good agreement is achieved when the critical speeds are calculated using the temperature-dependent friction material properties and the reduced coefficient of friction to account for the effect of intermittent contact.

A model for the steady-state wear behavior of polymer composite materials, including the effects of preferential load support by and surface accumulation of wear-resistant filler particles, is further developed. It is shown that the resultant inverse rule-of-mixtures description of steady-state composite wear rate behavior is independent of the assumed form of filler contact pressure, though preferential load support does affect the degree of surface accumulation of filler particles that occurs. The validity of these descriptions of steady-state wear behavior and surface accumulation as functions of bulk filler volume fraction are investigated by experiments with copper particle-filled PTFE composites for bulk filler volume fractions from 0 to 40 percent. The applicability of the description of surface accumulation for this composite system was limited to bulk filler volume fractions less than 20 percent, a hypothesized result of transition in load-sharing between filler and matrix. The inverse rule-of-mixtures description of steady-state wear rate, however, was maintained over the full range of volume fractions investigated.

During the second part of the twentieth century, many efforts have been done to model wear. Particularly, Archard proposes in 1953 [1] one of the first wear law, which is often written on the following form: dW/dt=K.P.V(1) with dW/dt the mass of detached particles from the rubbing materials per unit time, P the applied pressure, V the sliding speed and K the “wear rate”.

Experiments have been conducted in a normal atmosphere using a 0·25-in diameter mild-steel pin specimen sliding on a 10-in diameter mild-steel disc. The ranges of normal force and speed are 0·5–10·4 lbf and 20–190 ft/s respectively. Initially the coefficient of friction is comparatively large, and the wear is of the severe metallic form. However, frictional heating causes rapid oxidation of the surfaces and, if the sliding distance is sufficient, the eventual retention of an oxide layer causes a rapid decrease in the coefficient of friction and the wear rate decreases by 3–4 orders of magnitude. At speeds above about 75 ft/s and loads below about 5 lbf the formation, after several hours' sliding, of a continuous oxide layer on the track causes a further reduction in the pin wear rate. At higher loads and/or lower speeds this track condition is not attained. At speeds of 75 ft/s and above there exists a critical load (the magnitude of which depends on speed) above which periodic removals of the surface film(s) occur producing metallic wear and high friction. However, the subsequent increase in oxidation allows conditions of mild wear to be re-established generally within a few seconds. The steady-state coefficient of friction has been observed to be a function of load1/2 × speed, and periodic surface breakdowns found to occur when load1/2 × speed exceeds 170 lbf1/2 ft/s, the frequency decreasing with increasing load or speed.
