The effect of groove texture patterns on piston-ring pack friction [PDF]
A cylinder liner possesses fairly intricate surface requirements due to its complicated functions. It needs to provide adequate surface roughness to resist wear as well as to store and retain lubricants during high temperatures. The liner surface texture

Friction and wear performance evaluation of bio-lubricants and DLC coatings on cam/tappet interface of internal combustion engines [PDF]
The environmental concerns associated with artificially formulated engine oils have forced a shift towards bio-based lubricants. The deposition of hard coatings on engine components and migrating to environmentally friendly green lubricants can help in ...

Theoretical and computational validation of the Kuhn barrier friction mechanism in unfolded proteins
A long time ago, Kuhn predicted that long polymers should approach a limit where their global motion is controlled by solvent friction alone, with ruggedness of their energy landscapes having no consequences for their dynamics.

Modeling and estimation of internal friction in cloth [PDF]
Force-deformation measurements of cloth exhibit significant hysteresis, and many researchers have identified internal friction as the source of this effect. However, it has not been incorporated into computer animation models of cloth. In this paper, we propose a model of internal friction based on an augmented reparameterization of Dahl's model, and ...

Strengthening of damping properties after initial plastic deformation: static and dynamic tests
The effect of the initial plastic deformation on the damping properties of low-carbon steel is experimentally studied, which corresponds to a change in the deformation diagram. The deformation diagram also refers to hysteresis loops that expand after the
