A review of studies and observations on the friction, wear, and lubrication behavior of materials in a vacuum environment is presented. The factors that determine and influence friction and wear are discussed. They include topographical, physical, mechanical, and the chemical nature of the surface. The effects of bulk properties such as deformation characteristics, fracture behavior, and structure are included.
The problem of a laminate composite in the presence of a crack located normal to the bond lines is considered. Stress analysis of the limiting case when the crack extends to the bond lines is carried out. An integral transform technique is used to formulate the problem in terms of a singular integral equation. The power of stress singularity around the crack tip terminating at the interface is obtained using the above technique. The singular integral equation is solved numerically and the effect of material properties on the stress intensity factor is calculated.
