Tribology of enzymatically degraded cartilage mimicking early osteoarthritis
Healthy cartilage is a water-filled super lubricious tissue. Collagen type II provides it structural stability, and proteoglycans absorb water to keep the cartilage in a swollen condition, providing it the ability to creep and provide weeping lubrication.

Trimethylolpropane trioleate as eco-friendly lubricant additive
Approximately 17.9% of fuel energy is used to overcome engine friction in passenger cars with engine frictional losses further broken down into losses along hydrodynamic (40%), elastohydrodynamic – due to pure sliding motion (40%), mixed (10%) and ...

Synovial joint lubrication – does nature teach more effective engineering lubrication strategies? [PDF]
Nature shows numerous examples of systems which show energy efficiency, elegance in their design and optimum use of materials. Biomimetics is an emerging field of research in engineering and successes have been documented in the diverse fields of ...

Rough Surface Contact Modelling—A Review
It has been shown experimentally that boundary friction is proportional to load (commonly known as Amontons’ law) for more than 500 years, and the fact that it holds true over many scales (from microns to kilometres, and from nano-Newtons to Mega-Newtons)

Boundary conditions for free surface inlet and outlet\ud problems [PDF]
We investigate and compare the boundary conditions that are to be applied to free surface problems involving inlet and outlets of Newtonian fluid, typically found in coating processes.

Boundary lubrication: Dynamics of squeeze-out [PDF]
The dynamics of the expulsion of the last liquid monolayer of molecules confined between two surfaces (measured recently for the first time) has been analyzed by solving the two-dimensional Navier-Stokes equation combined with kinetic Monte Carlo simulations. Instabilities in the boundary line of the expelled film were observed.

A coupled finite-volume CFD solver for two-dimensional elasto-hydrodynamic lubrication problems with particular application to rolling element bearings [PDF]
This paper describes a new computational fluid dynamics methodology for modelling elastohydrodynamic contacts. A finite-volume technique is implemented in the ‘OpenFOAM’ package to solve the Navier-Stokes equations and resolve all gradients in a ...
