Characterization of the Frictional Response of Squamata Shed Skin in Comparison to Human skin

H. A. Abdel-Aal, M. El Mansori

Deterministic surfaces are constructs of which profile, topography and textures are integral to the function of the system they enclose. They are designed to yield a predetermined…

Extending Electrical Resistivity Measurements in Micro-scratching of Silicon to Determine Thermal Conductivity of the Metallic Phase Si-II

Hisham A. Abdel-Aal, Ysai Reyes, John A. Patten +1

Ductile Regime Machining of semiconductors (DRM) offers higher quality of the resulting surfaces. To optimize this process, it is required to understand the thermal kinetics of sil…

Pressure-Induced Critical Influences on Workpiece-Tool Thermal Interaction in High Speed Dry Machining of Titanium

H. A. Abdel-Aal, M. El Mansori

Cutting tools are subject to extreme thermal and mechanical loads during operation. The state of loading is intensified in dry cutting environment especially when cutting the so ca…

The Relation Between Wear and Irreversible Entropy Generation in the Dry Sliding of Metals

Hisham A. Abdel-aal

We examine the relationship between wear and the generation of entropy in dry sliding of metals. It is postulated that wear is related to irreversible entropy generation within the…

Python Regius (Ball Python) shed skin: Biomimetic analogue for function-targeted design of tribo-surfaces

H. A. Abdel-Aal, M. El Mansori, I. C. Gebeshuber

A major concern in designing tribo-systems is to minimize friction, save energy, and to reduce wear. Satisfying these requirements depends on the integrity of the rubbing surface a…
