Abstract

This paper proposes a new method of rule-based fuzzy modelling to predict the critical loads and wear rates of some typical ceramic coating systems. Coating hardness, thickness and friction coefficient were used as the input variables. Experimental results from a number of research laboratories confirmed the feasibility of the fuzzy approach. The proposed method showed its unique advantage to deal with complexity associated with the wear of surface coatings.
