Parameters Impacting Brake Wear Particle Emissions: A Literature Review Abstract. With the implementation by the European Union since the 1980s of strict measures to reduce emissions of air pollutants (PM10, PM2.5, NH3, CH4, O3, NOX, SOX, VOCs (volatile organic compounds)...

Pollution can take many forms, and the worn material from brakes is one that we should be aware of. This recent review paper examines the influence of materials, frictional power, humidity, and other design parameters on the production of brake pad wear particles.

Model Correlating Polishing to Abrasive Particle Friction for Chemical Mechanical Polishing Abstract. Material removal (wear) mechanism models of the chemical mechanical planarization (CMP) on integrated circuits are incomplete. Models typically must assume that wear results from two-body ab...

Precision manufacturing processes such as chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) are based on tribological mechanisms. CMP is essential to the manufacturing of electronic chips, semiconductors, optics, biomedical applications, dental, and hard drives.

Several universities also have open access agreements with ASME for their faculty, so you can publish at no cost.
The last option is to pay a fee to have the paper available as open access on the ASME website. Here is the fee structure and more information:
www.asme.org/publications...

The ASME paper information must to be referenced in the posting and linked to the journal website.
You can also post this version on there personal websites one year after acceptance.

Did you know there are several ways to make the paper open access accessible after publication in the ASME Journal of Tribology? After acceptance, a version of the paper before typesetting can be posted on a university or open access depository.
