Antiwear Action

This study aims to contribute to better understand the antiwear action of zinc dialkyldithiophosphate (ZDTP) additives used in car engine lubrication. The antiwear action of ZDTP is associated to the formation of a protective tribofilm onto the rubbing surface. On a mechanical point of view, the efficiency of ZDTP tribofilms results from equilibrium between film formation and wear rates, associated with appropriate rheological properties. In this work, the mechanical properties of a ZDTP tribofilm have been measured by nanoindentation in different test conditions in order to investigate the effect of temperature and strain rate. A Nanoindenter XP® entirely set into a climatic chamber was used to perform the nanoindentation tests. For all tests, an increase of the elastic modulus was observed from a threshold contact pressure value. This effect is similar to the anvil effect observed on polymers: in confined geometry, the elastic modulus increases versus hydrostatic pressure. For the tribofilm, in the studied range, this effect is enhanced at high temperature and low strain rate. Furthermore, when the temperature increases, a change in the rheological behavior of the tribofilm is observed. Up to about 50°C, the tribofilm exhibits viscoplastic behavior — the hardness increases versus strain rate — and above 50°C, the hardness decreases versus strain rate (“shear thinning-like” behavior).

Rigid polyurethane (PUR) foam is products used as a biomedical material for medical device testing. Thermal stability is a very important parameter for evaluating the feasibility of use for testing surgical instrument load during drilling. This work aimed to perform experimental measurements to determine the dependence of the mechanical properties of a certified PUR on temperature, strain rate and density. Experimental measurements were realised for three types of the PUR samples with different density 10, 25 and 40 pounds per cubic foot. The samples were characterised in terms of their mechanical properties evaluated from tensile and compression tests at temperatures of 25 °C, 90 °C and 155 °C. Furthermore, the structures of the samples were characterised using optical microscope, their thermal properties were characterised by thermogravimetric analysis, and their density and stiffness with the effect of temperature was monitored. The results show that it is optimal not only for mechanical testing but also for testing surgical instruments that generate heat during machining. On the basis of experimental measurements and evaluations of the obtained values, the tested materials are suitable for mechanical testing of medical devices. At the same time, this material is also suitable for testing surgical instruments that generate heat during machining.

Experiments on granite under uniaxial compression at high temperature of 25~850°C and after high temperature of 25~1300°C were conducted to study the effect of temperature on rock strength and deformation quality. The results show that: (1) Fitting curves between temperature strain and thermal expansion coefficient with temperature are closely first order growth exponential function relation at high temperature. Temperature strain has mutagenicity after high temperature, which can not reflect rock deformation law at high temperature exactly. (2)Mechanical properties of granite weak continuously at high temperature. Compressive strength and elastic modulus show second order attenuation trend of exponential law. But mechanical properties show mutation state after high temperature, which is closely related to the alteration of rock crystal form and brittle-ductile transition. Regression curves between compressive strength and elastic modulus with temperature are closely polynomial curve. The results reflect the fundamental regulation of granite’s interior structure changing under the action of different temperature, which will provide some reference value to rock engineering involved in high temperature.

In order to study the effect of temperature on the mechanical properties of H90 copper strip material, the H90 copper strip test pieces were heated to different temperatures (20~600 °C) for tensile test; the yield strength, tensile strength, elastic modulus and elongation of H90 copper strip at different temperatures were obtained. Based on the test results, the empirical models of yield strength, tensile strength, elastic modulus of H90 copper strip at high temperature were established; the test showed that, with the increase of temperature, the yield strength, tensile strength and elastic modulus of H90 copper strip decreased greatly, and the elongation after fracture first increased-decreased-increased at 20~600 °C. The study results in this paper provide basic material data for analyzing the effect of temperature on the continuous firing of firearms and other weapons.

Abstract Tire wear at controlled slip, as realized by setting the wheels of a trailer at a slip angle, obeys the theoretically predicted square law dependence on the slip angle if allowance is made for the effect of temperature and abrasion patterns on the abrasion resistance of the tread compound. The temperature of the tire surface and the intensity of the abrasion patterns increase with increasing slip angle; the severity dependence of the relative wear rating of any two types of tire is largely due to differences in temperature and abrasion pattern coefficients. This applies also to wear on wet roads. The order of magnitude of the absolute wear rates agrees well with the values calculated from the abrasion resistance of tread compounds and the mechanical properties of the tire.

In this paper, the mechanical properties, including elastic properties, deformation mechanism, dislocation formation and crack propagation of graphene/Cu (G/Cu) nanocomposite under uniaxial tension are studied by molecular dynamics (MD) method and the strain rate dependence is also investigated. Firstly, through the comparative analysis of tensile results of single crystal copper (Cu), single slice graphene/Cu (SSG/Cu) nanocomposite and double slice graphene/Cu (DSG/Cu) nanocomposite, it is found that the G/Cu nanocomposites have larger initial equivalent elastic modulus and tensile ultimate strength comparing with Cu and the more content of graphene, the greater the tensile strength of composites. Afterwards, by analyzing the tensile results of SSG/Cu nanocomposite under different strain rates, we find that the tensile ultimate strength of SSG/Cu nanocomposite increases with the increasing of strain rate gradually, but the initial equivalent elastic modulus basically remains unchanged.
