Three-body abrasion on wear and frictional performance of treated betelnut fibre reinforced epoxy (T-BFRE) composite

This work aims to investigate the wear and frictional behaviour of a new epoxycomposite based on treatedbetelnutfibres subjected to three-bodyabrasion using different abrasive particle sizes (500 µm, 714 µm and 1430 µm) and sliding velocities (0.026–0.115 m s-1) at constant applied load (5 N) using...
