Influence of the Loading Stiffness on Sheared Granular Fault Gouge, and Applicability to Slip‐Weakening Theory

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Tectonic faults can slip in a spectrum of fault slip behaviors, from aseismic slip and slow ruptures to elasto‐dynamic earthquakes. Following frictional theory, laboratory experiments have shown that the basic ingredient that may control this transition is the interaction between the fault stiffness and the surrounding elastic medium.

Moisture‐Responsive Friction Adaptability: Rethinking the Conventional Skin Silicone Interfaces in Pressure Injury Prevention Dressing Designs

open access: yesInternational Wound Journal, Volume 23, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT This study evaluated the frictional properties of the skin‐contact interfaces of two multilayer prophylactic dressings under simulated perspiration conditions. The tested dressings were identical except for the skin‐contact interface, which was either silicone‐made or Hydrofiber‐made, that is, AQUACEL Hydrofiber Technology.

Morphological and biomechanical adaptations of larval mandibles in Trichoptera (Insecta)

open access: yesPhysiological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 1, Page 85-114, March 2026.
Mandible morphology differs between predators and grazers: predators show pointed incisors, grazers sharp edges and setae. Mechanical properties depend on cuticle tanning, not elemental reinforcement. Functional mandible types reflect feeding strategies, with predators specialized for prey capture and grazers for scraping and collecting.

The effect of processing and compositional changes on the tribology of PM212 in air [PDF]

open access: yes
The effects of processing and compositional variations on the tribological performance of PM212 were studied. PM212 is a self lubricating powder metallurgy composite, comprised of a wear resistant metal bonded chromium carbide matrix, containing the ...

Can Ti‐Based MXenes Serve as Solid Lubricants for Brake Applications? A Tribological Study

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, Volume 28, Issue 4, 18 February 2026.
This study explores the first implementation of Ti‐based MXenes materials in brake pad friction composite material. The resulting composite material exhibits a 48% reduction in the wear rate; alongside significant improvements are observed for thermal and mechanical properties.

Tribological properties of silicon carbide in metal removal process [PDF]

open access: yes
Material properties are considered as they relate to adhesion, friction, and wear of single crystal silicon carbide in contact with metals and alloys that are likely to be involved in a metal removal process such as grinding.

Tribological properties of Mo6S3I6 nanowires

open access: yes, 2007
A new nanowire-like material with the chemical formula Mo6S3I6 was studied as an additive in a synthetic base oil, a polyalphaolefin (PAO). This material presents interesting friction reducing properties, friction coefficient reaching a value of 0.04 in boundary lubrication.
