Uncertainty analyses can improve the reliability and validity of the assessment of friction and wear rate of tribo-systems. This work analyses the various sources of uncertainty in the estimation of friction and wear rate of liner-ring pairs using a linear reciprocating tribometer (LRT) as per the analytical method suggested by Guide to the Express...

Research conducted on the influence of honing angle on the cylinder liner surface lacks consensus on the numerical value of the honing angle for the desired performance of the liner-ring tribosystem. The paper presents the results of experimental work performed on the cylinder liner samples honed at different angles (20° -100°) to explore the influ...

The COVID-19 pandemic is continuing, and the innovative and efficient contributions of the emerging modern technologies to the pandemic responses are too early and cannot be completely quantified at this moment. Digital technologies are not a final solution but are the tools that facilitate a quick and effective pandemic response. In accordance, mo...

Hypereutectic Al-Si alloys are used as material for the engine block and cylinder liners in automobiles. Wear behaviour of hypereutectic Al-Si alloy system changes significantly with applied normal load in both mild wear and severe wear regime. Significant improvement in wear resistance can be obtained by exposing silicon particles through the chem...
