Speed and Atmosphere Influences on Nanotribological Properties of NbSe2 [PDF]
Nanotribological properties of NbSe2 are studied using an atomic friction force microscope. The friction force is measured as a function of normal load and scan speeds ranging from 10 nm s−1 to 40 μm s−1 under two atmospheres (air and argon).

Optimization algorithms for the solution of the frictionless normal contact between rough surfaces [PDF]
This paper revisits the fundamental equations for the solution of the frictionless unilateral normal contact problem between a rough rigid surface and a linear elastic half-plane using the boundary element method (BEM).

The air gap between tape and drum in a video recorder [PDF]
Lubrication with ambient air is not quite generally applied. The best known application is the "oil bearing" in tape recording systems for audio, video and computer applications; where the gap height that is needed for effective lubrication may quite ...

Wear effects and mechanisms of soot-contaminated automotive lubricants [PDF]
A study has been carried out to investigate the influence of soot-contaminated automotive lubricants in the wear process of a simulated engine valve train contact. Previous research on this topic has been mainly performed from a chemical point of view in

Advances in DFT-Based Computational Tribology: A Review
The rapid advancement of micro/nano-electromechanical systems (MEMS/NEMS) and precision manufacturing has fundamentally challenged traditional friction theories at the nanoscale. Classical continuum models fail to capture energy dissipation mechanisms at

Spiroid gears are used in various machine drive systems in the automotive and aviation industries. They are characterised by their small size and ability to achieve high gear ratios while maintaining the positioning accuracy of the driven device. This type of gear can operate continuously or at intervals. During the operation at intervals, dry friction

Anti‐Slip Material‐Based Strategies and Approaches
This review highlights the principle mechanisms of slipping at the microscale, linking contact mechanics with a friction behavior model for surface interfaces. Main strategies to develop anti‐slip properties to the surfaces are discussed alongside standardized testing approaches.

(a) The outstanding lubricative properties of natural articular cartilage arise from a composite coating composed of HA, lubricin, and phospholipids at its surface. Notably, lubricin facilitates the enrichment of synovial HA onto cartilage surfaces, and HA complexes with phospholipids, a key component to maintain extremely low friction under high ...
