Light‑Driven Propulsion of Graphene Aerogels in Microgravity

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Ultralight graphene aerogels convert laser light into thrust. Parabolic‐flight experiments directly compare their motion in microgravity and at 1 g, revealing order‐of‐magnitude enhancements in distance, velocity, and transient thrust when weight and friction are removed (∼50 times enhancement).

Optimization and Experimental Testing of the Drag Torque Model Based on the Cavitation Effect

open access: yesJixie chuandong
In the non-braking operation of the wet brake in a heavy vehicle's hybrid power transmission system, the friction pair produces a drag torque due to the power loss caused by the viscous action of the oil.

Characterization of the Drag Force in an Air-Moderated Granular Bed

open access: yes, 2009
We measure the torque acting on a rod rotated perpendicular to its axis in a granular bed, through which an upflow of gas is utilized to tune the hydrostatic loading between grains.

Unzipping Dynamics of Long DNAs

open access: yes, 2002
The two strands of the DNA double helix can be `unzipped' by application of 15 pN force. We analyze the dynamics of unzipping and rezipping, for the case where the molecule ends are separated and re-approached at constant velocity.

Modeling of the Dynamics of Conical Separate Plates in a Wet Multi-Disc Clutch

open access: yesLubricants
Wet multi-disc clutches in transmission systems suffer from the incomplete separation of the friction components, which raises the drag torque and results in power loss and heightened fuel consumption.

Signal and power roll ring testing update [PDF]

open access: yes
The development of the roll ring as a long-life, low-torque alternative to the slip ring is discussed. A roll ring consists of one or more circular flexures captured by their own spring force in the annular space between two concentric conductors or ...
