Rolling-Sliding Performance of Radial and Offset Roller Followers in Hydraulic Drivetrains for Large Scale Applications: A Comparative Study

open access: yesMachines, 2023
Generally speaking, excessive side thrust and roller slippage are two different aspects affecting cam-roller mechanisms. In novel large-scale hydraulic drivetrains for offshore wind turbines, the highly dynamic nature of these mechanisms combined with ...

The Effect of Pre-Stretched Substrate on the Electrical Resistance of Printed Ag Nanowires

open access: yesNanomaterials, 2023
One-dimensional nanomaterials have drawn attention as an alternative electrode material for stretchable electronics. In particular, silver nanowires (Ag NWs) have been studied as stretchable electrodes for strain sensors, 3D electronics, and freeform ...

Microscale friction reduction by normal force modulation in MEMS. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Friction in MEMS-scale devices is troublesome because it can result in lateral stiction of two sliding surfaces. We have investigated the effect of modulation of the normal force on the friction between two sliding MEMS surfaces, using a fully MEMS-based

Thermal imaging on simulated faults during frictional sliding [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Heating during frictional sliding is a major component of the energy budget of earthquakes and represents a potential weakening mechanism. It is therefore important to investigate how heat dissipates during sliding on simulated faults. We present results

Peeling and Sliding in Nucleosome Repositioning

open access: yes, 2007
We investigate the mechanisms of histone sliding and detachment with a stochastic model that couples thermally-induced, passive histone sliding with active motor-driven histone unwrapping.

Combined Type II Amyand's hernia and sliding hernia: A rare presentation of an unusual type of inguinal hernia

open access: yesInternational Journal of Abdominal Wall and Hernia Surgery, 2020
Repair of inguinal hernia is one of the most common procedures in general surgical practice. Amyand's hernia is an unusual condition that entails the presence of the appendix in the hernial sac.

Dependence of boundary lubrication on the misfit angle between the sliding surfaces

open access: yes, 2010
Using molecular dynamics based on Langevin equations with a coordinate- and velocity-dependent damping coefficient, we study the frictional properties of a thin layer of "soft" lubricant (where the interaction within the lubricant is weaker than the ...

Optimal sliding mode controllers for attitude tracking of spacecraft [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
This paper studies two optimal sliding mode control laws using integral sliding mode control (ISM) for some spacecraft attitude tracking problems. Integral sliding mode control combining the first order sliding mode and optimal control is applied to ...

Comparative Study on the Cavitation Erosion and Sliding Wear of Cold-Sprayed Al/Al2O3 and Cu/Al2O3 Coatings, and Stainless Steel, Aluminium Alloy, Copper and Brass

open access: yesMetals, 2020
The paper investigates the cavitation erosion (CE) and sliding wear (SW) resistance of cold-sprayed Al/Al2O3 and Cu/Al2O3 composites and studies them in relation to a set of metallic materials such as aluminium alloy (AlCu4Mg1), pure copper (Cu110 ...

Sliding states of a soft-colloid cluster crystal: Cluster versus single-particle hopping [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
We study a two-dimensional model for interacting colloidal particles which displays spontaneous clustering. Within this model we investigate the competition between the pinning to a periodic corrugation potential, and a sideways constant pulling force ...
