Determination of melon seed physical parameters and calibration of discrete element simulation parameters.

open access: yesPLoS ONE
To improve the accuracy of the Hami melon discrete element model, the parameters of the Hami melon seed discrete element model were calibrated by combining practical experiments and simulation tests. The basic physical parameters of Hami melon seeds were

Loaded tooth contact analysis of intersected beveloid and cylindrical involute gear pair with small shaft angle

open access: yesJournal of Advanced Mechanical Design, Systems, and Manufacturing, 2018
A working pitch cone based geometry design approach for the intersected beveloid and cylindrical involute gear pair with small shaft angle was proposed. The cutter and geometry design parameters can be determined by the proposed method.

Numerical Study of Drop Motion on a Surface with Wettability Gradient and Contact Angle Hysteresis

open access: yes, 2013
In this work, the motion of a 2-D drop on a surface with given wettability gradient is studied numerically by a hybrid lattice-Boltzmann finite-difference method using the multiple-relaxation-time collision model.

Oxide‐Free Titanium Coatings by Wire Arc Spraying in a Silane‐Doped Inert Atmosphere

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
A silane‐doped argon atmosphere enables the production of oxide‐free titanium coatings via twin‐wire arc spraying at ambient pressure. This innovative approach eliminates residual oxygen, creating process conditions that prevent oxidation and nitride formation.

The use of high aspect ratio photoresist (SU-8) for super-hydrophobic pattern prototyping [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
In this work we present a reliable technique for the production of large areas of high aspect-ratio patterns and describe their use as model super-hydrophobic systems.

Effect of Laser Deoxidation on Adhesive‐Bonded Aluminum in an Oxygen‐Free Atmosphere

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This study investigates laser ablation of aluminum under oxygen‐free conditions. The goal is to produce oxide‐free substrates that enable improved adhesive bonding with epoxy. Optimized laser parameters (90% overlap, 300 µJ) combined with oxide‐free substrates result in the highest tensile strength of the adhesive bond.

A Ball in a Groove

open access: yes, 1999
We study the static equilibrium of an elastic sphere held in a rigid groove by gravity and frictional contacts, as determined by contact mechanics. As a function of the opening angle of the groove and the tilt of the groove with respect to the vertical ...

Removing Oxide Layers and Retaining Oxide‐Free Steel Surfaces by Polishing in Oxygen‐Free Atmosphere

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
In this study, the efficacy of wet mechanical polishing under an oxygen‐free atmosphere for deoxidation and the retention of an oxide‐free steel surface are elucidated using X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The methodology proved successful; however, the results were highly dependent on the preparation of the solvents used to clean the samples after ...

Lattice Boltzmann modeling of contact angle and its hysteresis in two-phase flow with large viscosity difference [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Contact angle hysteresis is an important physical phenomenon omnipresent in nature and various industrial processes, but its effects are not considered in many existing multiphase flow simulations due to modeling complexity.
