Adhesion and Friction for Three Tire Tread Compounds
Lubricants, 2019 We study the adhesion and friction for three tire tread rubber compounds. The adhesion study is for a smooth silica glass ball in contact with smooth sheets of the rubber in dry condition and in water.

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.Objective We examined whether 18 months of strength training in individuals with knee varus alignment and medial tibiofemoral osteoarthritis (OA) reduced knee joint loads during walking compared to an attention control group. Methods This study was a secondary analysis of a randomized clinical trial that compared the effects of strength training to a ...

A review of some tribo-dynamics phenomena from micro- to nano-scale conjunctions [PDF]
, 2009 The paper provides some highlights in the developments of theories of lubrication and contact mechanics from early pioneering works of Reynolds and Hertz to the establishment of elastohydrodynamic phenomenon by Ertel and Grubin. Some historical discourse

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.Objective To explore whether higher body fat and lower lean mass are associated with greater pain and worse patient‐reported physical function in individuals with hip osteoarthritis (OA). A secondary aim was to examine whether pain and patient‐reported physical function differ according to four body composition profiles: high body fat, low lean mass ...

A 3D contact investigation of rough surfaces considering elastoplasticity
Exacta, 2009 In this work, the non-penetration condition and the interface models for contact, taking into account the surface microstructure, are investigated in detail. It is done using a homogenization procedures presented by Bandeira, Wriggers and Pimenta (2001a),

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.Objective Although the definition of a gout flare is well established, the state of gout flare resolution has not yet been defined. This study aimed to explore patients’ experiences and perceptions of gout flare resolution. Methods Semistructured interviews were conducted with 24 people with gout, guided by open‐ended questions exploring their ...

Shakedown analysis for rolling and sliding contact problems
, 2006 There is a range of problems where repeated rolling or sliding contact occurs. For such problems shakedown and limit analyses provides significant advantages over other forms of analysis when a global understanding of deformation behaviour is required ...
