Numerical Wear Analysis of a PLA-Made Spur Gear Pair as a Function of Friction Coefficient and Temperature
Polylactic acid (PLA)-made machine elements exhibit easy machining, biodegradability, and excellent mechanical properties. However, enhancing their wear resistance is still a crucial engineering point, which may be achieved by altering (lowering) their coefficient of friction (CoF). Therefore, the f...
