A Synovium‐on‐Chip Platform to Study Multicellular Interactions in Arthritis

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
The Synovium‐on‐Chip comprises a thin microporous PDMS membrane to support co‐culture of fibroblast‐like synoviocytes (FLS), THP‐1‐derived macrophages, and endothelial cells, enabling real‐time analysis of synovial‐vascular interactions. FLS migration through the pores drives endothelial remodeling, while TNF‐α stimulation induces robust inflammatory ...

Identification of lubrication Regimes in Mechanical Seals using Acoustic Emission for Condition Monitoring [PDF]

The quality of lubrication condition between seal faces directly affects the reliability, operating life and sealing performance of mechanical seals. Thus, the identification of lubrication regimes in face seals i.e.

Topology and Material Optimization in Ultra‐Soft Magneto‐Active Structures: Making Advantage of Residual Anisotropies

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Residual magnetization induces pronounced mechanical anisotropy in ultra‐soft magnetorheological elastomers, shaping deformation and actuation even without external magnetic fields. This study introduces a computational‐experimental framework integrating magneto‐mechanical coupling into topology optimization for designing soft magnetic actuators with ...

The cutoff method for the numerical computation of nonnegative solutions of parabolic PDEs with application to anisotropic diffusion and lubrication-type equations

, 2013
The cutoff method, which cuts off the values of a function less than a given number, is studied for the numerical computation of nonnegative solutions of parabolic partial differential equations.

Mutual influence of cross hatch angle and superficial roughness of honed surfaces on friction in ring-pack tribo-system [PDF]

, 2013
The cylinder bore surface texture, widely produced by the honing technique, is an essential factor for a good engine performance (friction, oil consumption, running-in, wear etc.).

Droplet Electricity Generators With Maximized Energy Collection Zone Enabled by Aloe‐Inspired Midrib and Cuticle

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
An Aloe‐pinspired droplet electricity generator (A‐DEG) overcomes the limited energy collection zone of conventional DEGs by guiding impact droplets through a channeling midrib and artificial cuticle. The channeling midrib induces uni‐directional droplet spreading, while the artificial cuticle on the midrib further reinforces this behavior through its ...

Closing the Gap between the Workshop and Numerical Simulations in Sheet Metal Forming [PDF]

, 1996
The accuracy and reliability of numerical simulations of sheet metal forming processes do not yet satisfy the industrial requirements. In this paper we pay attention to the strategies which can be followed to decrease the gap between the real deepdrawing

Study on the tooth surface wear characteristics of helical gears under mixed elastohydrodynamic lubrication [PDF]

Mechanical Sciences
Existing research on tooth surface wear of helical gears has insufficiently considered the complex and variable lubrication conditions between meshing tooth surfaces.

Effect of Surface‐Lubricant Compatibility on Bubble Formation in Lubricant‐Infused Surfaces

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Lubricant‐infused surfaces reduce drag partly through bubbles that form when lubricant depletes. Using laser‐textured steel infused with silicone oil, we show that microbubble nucleation occurs even on surfaces fully wetted by the lubricant, regardless of chemistry.

Bistable Wetting States on a Smooth Surface

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Droplets on non‐textured surfaces typically exhibit a monostable wetting state. Here, we show that droplets can exhibit bistability even without surface texture. We investigate water droplets on a smooth substrate immersed in oil. We find that molecular modulation causes the droplet states to bifurcate into either a sticking or a repellent state ...
