Frictional Effects in Wear

Note: The following document contains excerpts from a presentation by Drs. George Z. Voyiadjis, Adam Lodygowski, and Babur Deliktas, which provide an overview of this topic we hope you will find interesting. Below the presentation is footage from the record-breaking Mach rail trip, as well as friction simulations from our laboratory.
