Electrostatic Actuation Induces Competing Adhesion and Vibration Regimes at Fingertip Contact
Electric fields modulate fingertip–surface contact to create artificial touch sensations. The mechanisms underlying electrostatic friction, however, remain unclear. Direct imaging and friction measurements under oscillating electric fields showed that adhesion dominates at high frequencies, while vibration contributes substantially at the lower ...

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

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.

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

Forced response of shrouded blades with a coupled static/dynamic approach [PDF]
A coupled static-dynamic method is proposed and applied to bladed disks with shrouds, in order to calculate the nonlinear forced response in presence of friction damping in the frequency domain.

ABSTRACT Efficient thermal management in advanced industrial systems requires improved heat transfer performance, particularly under non‐Newtonian fluid behavior and complex surface geometries. This study investigates the two‐dimensional flow and heat transfer characteristics of ternary hybrid nanofluids over both stationary and moving wedge surfaces ...

ABSTRACT A thermosetting in situ curing resin microsphere system has been developed. It has controllable phase transition time and particle size. This system addresses the current challenges of low strength, shear susceptibility, and short phase transition time in polymer microsphere blockers and thermoplastic particle blockers.
