Wear journal is dedicated to the advancement of basic and applied knowledge concerning the nature of wear of materials. Broadly, topics of interest range from development of fundamental understanding of the mechanisms of wear to innovative solutions to practical engineering problems.Submissions are invited on such subjects as:(a)Wear modelling and validation. This includes modelling of fundamental mechanisms as well as the modelling of tribosystems. Approaches may employ contact mechanics, frictional considerations and lubrication concepts in the development of the model, and will always include physical validation of the model.(b)The development and use of new wear testing methods and standards. This includes the rationale behind their development (including a critique of existing test methodologies where appropriate).(c)New wear diagnostic tools. The need for these tools and examples of their use in either basic research or engineering should be illustrated.(d)The development of wear-resistant materials, coatings, or surface treatments. Such papers should include, for example, benchmarking against materials currently employed in targeted engineering applications, or presenting a basic hypothesis underlying the work that can be validated as an advance over the current state-of-the-art. The criteria used to select the test methods employed (and the conditions under which those tests were conducted) must be robustly justified with regard to the targeted engineering applications. The proposed mechanisms of wear must be discussed in the context of data and observations that support those conclusions.(e)Relationships between the composition, structure, properties, and processing of materials and their wear behavior. Such submissions should include the basic rationale for the work, its foundation in prior knowledge, and how the current approach is implemented to explore these relationships. The criteria used to select the tests or analytical methods employed shall be explained with respect to the purpose of the research, be it fundamental or applied.(f)The role of lubricants or other interfacial species in the wear of materials. Such submissions will focus on the mechanisms of wear in the presence of well-characterized interfacial environments.The Abstracts of all submissions, whether a full paper or a shorter communication, should summarize the purpose and approach to the given problem, indicate the materials under investigation, and present the primary conclusions in a brief and concise manner. Overt commercialism or product promotion is unacceptable. Submissions to Wear will be peer-reviewed to assess their archival quality, clarity of communication, and the novelty of their contributions to the science and technology of wear.

《磨損雜志》致力于提高有關材料磨損性質的基礎和應用知識。從廣義上講，感興趣的主題包括從對磨損機理的基本理解發展到對實際工程問題的創新解決方案。邀請提交的主題包括：（a）磨損建模和驗證。這包括基本機制的建模以及摩擦系統的建模。在模型開發過程中，方法可能采用接觸力學、摩擦考慮和潤滑概念，并且始終包括模型的物理驗證。（b）制定和使用新的磨損試驗方法和標準。這包括其開發背后的基本原理（包括對現有測試方法的批評，如果合適的話）。（c）新的磨損診斷工具。應說明這些工具的需求以及它們在基礎研究或工程中的應用實例。（d）耐磨材料、涂層或表面處理的發展。例如，此類論文應包括針對目標工程應用中當前使用的材料進行基準測試，或提出一個基本假設，該假設可作為當前最先進技術的進步進行驗證。選擇所采用的試驗方法（以及進行這些試驗的條件）所采用的標準必須在目標工程應用方面具有充分的合理性。建議的磨損機制必須在支持這些結論的數據和觀察的背景下進行討論。（e）材料的成分、結構、性能和加工與其磨損性能之間的關系。這樣的提交應該包括工作的基本原理，它在先前知識中的基礎，以及如何實施當前的方法來探索這些關系。選擇所用試驗或分析方法的標準應解釋為研究的目的，無論是基本的還是應用的。（f）潤滑劑或其他界面物質在材料磨損中的作用。這些提交的報告將集中在界面環境特征良好的情況下的磨損機制。所有提交材料的摘要，無論是一篇完整的論文還是簡短的交流，都應該總結出針對給定問題的目的和方法，指出正在調查的材料，并以簡潔明了的方式提出初步結論。公開的商業化或產品推廣是不可接受的。將對提交的服裝進行同行評審，以評估其檔案質量、溝通的清晰度以及對服裝科學和技術貢獻的新穎性。
