Experimental and numerical investigations of wear behaviors of short-carbon-fiber reinforced polyetherimide composite

Tribological properties of short-carbon-fiber reinforced polyetherimide (SCF/PEI) composites have already been reported experimentally. However, detailed wear mechanisms and simulation work of these composites during a wear process with accompanied temperature changes have not been documented. In the present work, the evolution of wear behaviors of SCF/PEI composite within a single sliding wear process is systematically investigated by...
