A review of conducting polymers in electrical contact applications
A review of recent developments in fretting studies in electrical contacts is presented, focusing on developments in conducting polymer surfaces. Fretting is known to be a major cause of contact deterioration and failure; commonly exhibited as the ...

On the Prospects for African Philosophy in Australia
ABSTRACT This paper grapples with the situation of people of African descent in Australia by working through the constitution of the body of academic philosophy in the country. It contends with the parochialism of the Australian philosophical community and the prospects for the cultivation of greater pluralism. Taking African philosophy as one possible

Mechanism and test analysis of rail corrugation
In view of the common phenomenon of rail corrugation on subway lines, both field measurement and numerical simulation were used to study mechanism of rail corrugation. In field measurement, vibration signals of vehicles were measured when a train passing

Analysis of Stick-Slip Vibration of PDC Bit under Sudden Increase of Formation Hardness
In drilling an interbedded soft and hard formation with PDC bit, it is prone to cutter crack and damage. To address the issue, the stick-slip vibration characteristics of PDC bit during the sudden increase of formation hardness were studied.
