Anti‐Slip Material‐Based Strategies and Approaches
Advanced Materials Technologies, Volume 11, Issue 10, 22 May 2026.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.

Engineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 5, May 2026.To optimize aluminium–copper alloy compositions and tribological parameters for improved wear performance using an integrated hybrid MCDM approach. The Al–Cu alloy compositions were fabricated through die casting. Their tribological performance was evaluated and optimized using a hybrid Taguchi–AHP–WASPAS methodology under varying loads, sliding speeds,

Exploring the Tribological Properties of 3D Printed Polymer Composites: An Experimental Study
Polymer Composites, Volume 47, Issue 8, Page 6840-6858, 20 April 2026.Tribological pin‐on‐disc testing of FDM‐manufactured pins. Pins made from PLA, TPU, bronze‐filled PLA (BRO), and their combinations were tested against a SAE 1020 steel disc to evaluate friction, wear, and surface morphology. ABSTRACT In recent years, additive manufacturing, especially 3D printing, has been gaining more space in the production of parts

Finite Element Modeling of a Thermoplastic Polyurethane Ball for Rolling Seismic Isolation
Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 4, Page 926-946, 10 April 2026.ABSTRACT The Elastomeric‐Ball Pendulum (EBP) system, which consists of an elastomeric ball rolling on a spherical concrete surface, has been proposed as an isolation system for lightweight structures. Experimental tests have shown that the mechanics of such a rolling ball are remarkably complicated because the vertical load changes the shape of the ...

Unravelling friction anisotropy by atomic force microscopy
Journal of Microscopy, Volume 302, Issue 1, Page 111-144, April 2026.Abstract Friction plays a crucial role in both natural phenomena, from the flow of blood cells to earthquakes, and technological applications, from car engines to wind turbines. One of the most fundamental aspects of tribology is friction anisotropy, that is, the dependence of the friction force vector on the direction of sliding.
