An Investigation into the Influence of the Contact Pressure Distribution at the Friction Pair Interface on Disc Brake Squeal [PDF]
The main purpose of this thesis is to investigate the dynamic centre of pressure during a noisy brake application. A novel technique is employed to measure the centre of pressure and contact pressure distribution between the disc/pad interfaces during ...

Microstructural analysis of wear mechanisms of single-and multi-layercoatings based on the tin and a-C:H composition [PDF]
Single layered TiN coating was characterized by a columnar structure witha large number of dislocations. a-C: H coating was completely amorphous.Multi-layer TiN/a-C:H coating was built of TiN and a-C:H layers placed in asequence way.

Computational simulation of the intervertebral disc [PDF]
The intervertebral disc is a complex structure unlike any other in the human body. The capability to withstand high loads and deformations in six degrees of freedom is facilitated by the unique soft tissue structures. However, the mechanical behaviour of

Strong Lead‐Free Bioinspired Piezoceramics for Durable Energy Transducers
We fabricated brick‐and‐mortar lead‐free piezoceramics with Bi0.5Na0.5TiO3 monocrystal platelets as bricks and amorphous silica as mortar. The alignment of the bricks and the presence of the amorphous silica led to anisotropic residual stresses. These residual stresses increase the samples toughness, strength and durability while the brick alignment ...

The ball embedding property of the open unit disc
We prove that the open unit disc Delta in C satisfies the ball embedding property in C(2); i.e., given any discrete set of discs in C(2) there exists a proper holomorphic embedding Delta hooked right arrow C(2) which passes arbitrarily close to the discs.
