Microstructure and mechanical properties of refill friction stir spot welded joints: Effects of tool size and welding parameters

open access: yesJournal of Materials Research and Technology, 2022
A novel refill friction stir spot welding (RFSSW) technique employing large-sized tools is proposed. The microstructure and mechanical properties of joints produced with a large-sized welding tool and a conventional tool are compared.

Environmental effects on the wear characteristics of phenolic resin composite (Confirmation of water vapor effects and proposal of tribo-degraded gas effects)

open access: yesNihon Kikai Gakkai ronbunshu, 2016
For the purpose of clarifying the water vapor effect on brake pad wear, two experiments were performed. In the first set of experiments, wear tests were conducted using four pads under three relative humidity conditions (0.8%RH, 35%RH and 65%RH).

Contact mechanics and friction: Role of adhesion

open access: yesFriction
This paper presents an overview of the role of adhesion in various tribological phenomena. We discuss (1) adhesion and adhesive hysteresis in rough contacts, (2) adhesive contribution to dry friction, (3) properties of adhesive contacts under tangential ...

Understanding the friction mechanisms between the human finger and flat contacting surfaces in moist conditions

open access: yes, 2010
Human hands sweat in different circumstances and the presence of sweat can alter the friction between the hand and contacting surface. It is, therefore, important to understand how hand moisture varies between people, during different activities and the ...

In situ molecular organization and heterogeneity of the Legionella Dot/Icm T4SS

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We present a nearly complete in situ model of the Legionella Dot/Icm type IV secretion system, revealing its central secretion channel and identifying new components. Using cryo‐electron tomography with AI‐based modeling, our work highlights the structure, variability, and mechanism of this complex nanomachine, advancing understanding of bacterial ...

Research progress in inertia friction welding of nickel-based superalloys

open access: yesCailiao gongcheng
Nickel-based superalloys are widely used in high-temperature turbine components of aviation engines, and inertia friction welding (IFW) is widely used for the connection of nickel-based superalloy disc and shaft due to its solid-phase bonding property ...

Structural instability impairs function of the UDP‐xylose synthase 1 Ile181Asn variant associated with short‐stature genetic syndrome in humans

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The Ile181Asn variant of human UDP‐xylose synthase (hUXS1), associated with a short‐stature genetic syndrome, has previously been reported as inactive. Our findings demonstrate that Ile181Asn‐hUXS1 retains catalytic activity similar to the wild‐type but exhibits reduced stability, a looser oligomeric state, and an increased tendency to precipitate ...
