MONITORING OF DRY SLIDING WEAR USING FRACTAL ANALYSIS
Journal Title: Metrology and Measurement Systems - Year 2005, Vol 12, Issue 2
Abstract
Reliable online monitoring of wear remains a challenge to tribology research as well as to the industry. This paper presents a new method for monitoring of dry sliding wear using digital imaging and fractal analysis. Fractal values, namely fractal dimension and intercept, computed from the power spectrum of the images of a wearing surface, are adopted as indicators of the dynamic wear process. Experimental results show that progressive changes of fractal values might reveal the wear status of the surface.

REVISING THE SI: THE JOULE TO REPLACE THE KELVIN AS A BASE UNIT
The joule is proposed to replace the kelvin in the set of SI base units. Arguments in favour of such replacement are presented, including improved standard accuracy and unit system coherence. The joule is also proposed t...
