Elastomers’ wear: Comparison of theory with experiment
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Tribology International"
DOI: 10.1016/j.triboint.2019.02.035
Abstract: Abstract Wear of elastomers is different and far more complex than that of metallic materials, which arises owing to the effect of various operating parameters as well as physical and mechanical properties of the elastomers.… read more here.
