A numerical comparison of the flow behaviour in Friction Stir Welding (FSW) using unworn and worn tool geometries (2015)
Journal Article
Hasan, A., Bennett, C., & Shipway, P. (in press). A numerical comparison of the flow behaviour in Friction Stir Welding (FSW) using unworn and worn tool geometries. Materials and Design, 87, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.matdes.2015.08.016

The tool is a key component in the Friction Stir Welding (FSW) process, but the tool degrades and changes shape during use; however, only a limited number of experimental studies have been undertaken in order to understand the effect that worn tool g...

The role of frictional power dissipation (as a function of frequency) and test temperature on contact temperature and the subsequent wear behaviour in a stainless steel contact in fretting (2015)
Journal Article
Jin, X., Shipway, P., & Sun, W. (2015). The role of frictional power dissipation (as a function of frequency) and test temperature on contact temperature and the subsequent wear behaviour in a stainless steel contact in fretting. Wear, 330-331, 103-111. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.wear.2015.02.022

Temperature is known to affect the fretting wear behaviour of metals; generally, a critical temperature is observed, above which there are substantial reductions in wear rate, with these being associated with the development of protective oxide beds...

Fretting wear mapping: the influence of contact geometry and frequency on debris formation and ejection for a steel-on-steel pair (2015)
Journal Article
Warmuth, A. R., Shipway, P. H., & Sun, W. (2015). Fretting wear mapping: the influence of contact geometry and frequency on debris formation and ejection for a steel-on-steel pair. Proceedings of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 471(2178), https://doi.org/10.1098/rspa.2014.0291

This paper examines the influence of contact geometry and oscillation frequency in a steel cylinder-on-steel flat fretting contact, with contact geometry being varied via the cylinder radius. Fretting frequency did not significantly impact the wear b...
