Transition from Boundary Lubrication to Hydrodynamic Lubrication of Slider Bearings

, 2008
: The transition from boundary lubrication to fully hydrodynamic lubrication is investigated for air-lubricated slider bearings using the electrical resistance method. Intermittent contacts are shown to exist even under conditions for which the numerical

Ecological lubrication in cold forming of sintered powder metallurgical components [PDF]

, 2018
In this contribution a new lubrication approach for cold bulk metal forming is presented. By exploiting the process-related porosity of pm components as a lubricant storage, the resulting pressure of a forming process forces the stored oil to leak out ...

Microstructural and component evolution of self-assembled nanoperiod multilayered carbon-copper films with deposition pressure

AIP Advances, 2017
Here, we report a facile synthesis method for the fabrication of various nanoperiod multilayers in carbon-copper films only by conveniently changing the deposition pressure from the reactive magnetron sputter process.

Soft Robotic Excretory Care Simulator for Nursing Education: Functional and Perceptual Biomimetics Approach

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A soft robotic simulator is developed to replicate the digital removal of feces (DRF), a sensitive yet essential nursing procedure. Integrating soft actuators, sensors, and a realistic rectal model, the simulator balances functional fidelity with perceptual realism. Engineering evaluations and nurse feedback confirm its potential to enhance training in

The research of non-Newtonian properties and rheology of thin lubricant layers in hydrodynamic journal bearings

, 2013
The construction of rheological models of modern oils, reflecting the dependence of viscosity on temperature and pressure in a thin lubricating layer and the shear rate is of significant importance in calculating heavy-loaded bearings.

A Proof‐of‐Concept Assessment of a Novel Wearable Eyelid Muscle Device: A Pre‐Clinical Animal Cadaver Study for Eyelid Closure Restoration

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This article introduces a soft wearable eyelid sling device incorporating a hydraulic soft artificial muscle (SAM) for achieving complete closure of an eyelid. The SAM is driven by a cam mechanism that provides a displacement profile closely matched with those of a healthy eyelid.
