Evaluation of boundary lubricants using steady-state wear and friction [PDF]

open access: yes
A friction and wear study was made at 20 C to establish operating limits and procedures for obtaining improved reproducibility and reliability in boundary lubrication testing. Ester base and C-other base fluids were used to lubricate a pure iron rider in

Multimodal Locomotion in Insect‐Inspired Microrobots: A Review of Strategies for Aerial, Surface, Aquatic, and Interfacial Motion

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This review identifies key design considerations for insect‐inspired microrobots capable of multimodal locomotion. To draw inspiration, biological and robotic strategies for moving in air, on water surfaces, and underwater are examined, along with approaches for crossing the air–water interface.

Analysis of Chaotic Features in Dry Gas Seal Friction State Using Acoustic Emission

open access: yesLubricants
In this study, a chaos theory-based characterization method is proposed to address the nonlinear behavior of acoustic emission (AE) signals during the startup and shutdown phases of dry gas seals. AE signals were collected through a controlled experiment

Identification of lubrication Regimes in Mechanical Seals using Acoustic Emission for Condition Monitoring [PDF]

open access: yes
The quality of lubrication condition between seal faces directly affects the reliability, operating life and sealing performance of mechanical seals. Thus, the identification of lubrication regimes in face seals i.e.

A Superlubricated Magnetically Steerable Microcatheter with Integrated Optical and Fluidic Channels

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A magnetically steerable microcatheter with integrated optical and fluidic channels is developed for multifunctional navigation in tortuous anatomical environments. A surface‐grafted hydrogel coating enables low‐friction actuation. The device demonstrates stable light and fluid delivery during magnetic manipulation, offering a compact platform for ...

Free surface flows with large slopes: beyond lubrication theory

open access: yes, 2006
The description of free surface flows can often be simplified to thin film (or lubrication) equations, when the slopes of the liquid-gas interface are small.
