Self-Organized Criticality with Complex Scaling Exponents in the Train Model

open access: yes, 1997
The train model which is a variant of the Burridge-Knopoff earthquake model is investigated for a velocity-strengthening friction law. It shows self-organized criticality with complex scaling exponents.

A new friction factor relationship for fully developed pipe flow [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
The friction factor relationship for high-Reynolds-number fully developed turbulent pipe flow is investigated using two sets of data from the Princeton Superpipe in the range 31×10^3 ≤ ReD ≤ 35×10^6. The constants of Prandtl’s ‘universal’ friction factor

A multi-contact model to study the dynamic stick-slip and creep in mechanical frictional pair

open access: yesJournal of Advanced Mechanical Design, Systems, and Manufacturing, 2020
The original Iwan-type model is always based on the quasi-static assumption, which neglects the dynamic properties of the frictional interface. In this paper, A Iwan-type multi-contact model is established to study dynamic stick-slip and creep in ...

Law of the wall in an unstably stratified turbulent channel flow

open access: yes, 2015
We perform direct numerical simulations of an unstably stratified turbulent channel flow to address the effects of buoyancy on the boundary layer dynamics and mean field quantities.

Gutenberg-Richter’s law in sliding friction of gels [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
We report on experimental studies of spatio-temporally heterogeneous stick-slip motions in the sliding friction between a hard polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA, plexiglass) block and a soft poly-dimethyl siloxane (PDMS, silicone) gel plate.

Evaluation of the Potential of Laser Shock Peening Compared with Cold Expansion for Improving Fatigue Resistance of Riveted Lap Joints of Aerospace Grade 7175 Al Alloy

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This study investigates laser shock peening for enhancing fatigue performance of riveted aerospace aluminum joints. A comparative approach with cold expansion combines fatigue testing and synchrotron X‐ray methods. Integrating mechanical testing with residual stress and strain characterization provides insights into how different treatments affect the ...

Self-Similarity of Friction Laws

open access: yes, 1993
The change of the friction law from a mesoscopic level to a macroscopic level is studied in the spring-block models introduced by Burridge-Knopoff. We find that the Coulomb law is always scale invariant.

Adaptable Tile‐Based Pneumatic Origami through Structurally Coupled Localized Actuation

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This article presents tile‐based pneumatic origami structures with rigid tiles and flexible fabric creases, achieving adaptable properties including morphing shape, selective multistability, and tunable stiffness. Independently pressurized folding bladders at each crease enable structurally coupled localized actuation of origami structures.

A Constitutive Friction Law for Sheet-Bulk Metal Forming

open access: yesTribology Online, 2016
Friction has a significant effect on metal forming both in economic and technical terms. This is especially true for sheet-bulk metal forming, which is a combination of bulk metal forming and sheet metal forming.
