Multi-physics simulation of friction stir welding process [PDF]
Purpose: The Friction Stir Welding (FSW) process comprises of several highly coupled (and non-linear) physical phenomena: large plastic deformation, material flow transportation, mechanical stirring of the tool, tool-workpiece surface interaction ...

Friction mechanisms at polymer–solid interfaces
We present series of experiments conducted on model systems consisting of smooth solid surfaces covered with end grafted polymer chains at controlled surface density, and put into contact with either a polymer melt or a crosslinked elastomer of the same chemical species, and devoted to the characterization of friction as a function of the molecular ...

Understanding the basis of space closure in Orthodontics for a more efficient orthodontic treatment
Introduction: Space closure is one of the most challenging processes in Orthodontics and requires a solid comprehension of biomechanics in order to avoid undesirable side effects.

Powder Compaction Mechanics: A New General Theoretical Formulation
A new general formulation of powder compaction mechanics based on continuum mechanics concepts is presented. The general governing equations are developed, and the analysis of both dynamic and quasi-static compaction of powders in cylindrical dies is ...

Linear elastic fracture mechanics predicts the propagation distance of frictional slip [PDF]
When a frictional interface is subject to a localized shear load, it is often (experimentally) observed that local slip events initiate at the stress concentration and propagate over parts of the interface by arresting naturally before reaching the edge.

Structural connection with predetermined discrete variable friction forces
This paper presents a simple and practical structural connection able to develop predetermined discrete variable friction forces at target design displacement levels. The innovative connection is termed Modified Friction Device (Modified FD).

Influence of Rotations on the Critical State of Soil Mechanics [PDF]
The ability of grains to rotate can play a crucial role on the collective behavior of granular media. It has been observed in computer simulations that imposing a torque at the contacts modifies the force chains, making support chains less important.
