Characteristics of Progressive Damage of ZnO Nanowires during
Contact Sliding under Relatively Low Loads
Figure 8
Illustration of ZnO nanowire damage process: (a) undamaged ZnO nanowires, (b) wear debris of fractured fragments of large diameter ZnO nanowires, (c) wear debris from fractured fragments of small diameter ZnO nanowires, and (d) compact surface formation due to compression of wear debris through repetitive and high contact stresses.
