Synthesizing in situ Friction and Wear with ex situ Surface Metrology to Provide Post-mortem Tribological Analysis: Experiments and Modeling

Surface wear is estimated to result in upwards of 70% of material failure in the US with costs of over 300 billion dollars per annum. Tribology is defined as the study of friction, lubrication, and wear, and while all three of these sub-disciplines stem from interactions at the asperity scale, studi...
