... in marine equipment. Design/methodology/approach The tribological performance of sea-water-eroded polyether polyurethane (PU) was systematically studied by using a multi-specimen test machine for different durations from 0 to 60 days. Surface characterization technologies, such as scanning electric...

...Fanming Meng; Minggang Du; Xianfu Wang; Yuanpei Chen; Qing Zhang Purpose The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of the axial piston pin motion on the tribological performances of the piston skirt and cylinder liner vibration for an internal combustion engine (ICE) under different...

...Fanming Meng; Zhitao Cheng; Tiangang Zou Purpose This study aims to explore the superiority of the compound dimple (e.g. the rectangular-rectangular dimple) and compare its tribological performance for rough parallel surfaces with those of the traditional one-layer dimple (simple dimple...
