Experimental Wear Modelling of Lifeboat Slipway Launches [PDF]
, 2009 It is necessary to use an inclined slipway to launch lifeboats in locations where there is no natural harbour. Slipway stations consist of an initial roller section followed by an inclined keelway, the lifeboat is released from the top of the slipway and

Jixie chuandong, 2023 The rack and pinion of the three gorges ship lift is a low speed and heavy load open gear transmission with hard tooth surface. Once the lubrication is poor, it is easy to cause damage such as tooth surface scuffing, which will affect the operation ...

Active elastohydrodynamics of vesicles in narrow, blind constrictions [PDF]
, 2017 Fluid-resistance limited transport of vesicles through narrow constrictions is a recurring theme in many biological and engineering applications. Inspired by the motor-driven movement of soft membrane-bound vesicles into closed neuronal dendritic spines,

Lubrication at physiological pressures by polyzwitterionic brushes [PDF]
, 2009 The very low sliding friction at natural synovial joints, which have friction coefficients of mu < 0.002 at pressures up to 5 megapascals or more, has to date not been attained in any human-made joints or between model surfaces in aqueous environments ...

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.The tribological behavior of 100Cr6 steel spheres textured via Vickers microindentation is evaluated under lubricated sliding by varying both dimple size and density. Fine and dense textures significantly reduce friction across all lubrication regimes, while large dimples increase it.

A review on water lubrication of polymers [PDF]
International Journal Sustainable Construction & Design, 2012 Water lubrication for polymers which is an economical solution has not been completelyreviewed from the qualitative perspective. A comparative study on water lubrication of polymers helpsto understand the fundamental aspects of tribology relevant to the different applications.

The mechanisms of pedestrian slip on flooring contaminated with solid particles [PDF]
, 2009 Statistics by the UK Health and Safety Executive (HSE) suggest that slips, trips and falls account for up to one in three major workplace accidents. The vast majority of these accidents are the result of contaminant (fluid or solid) within the shoe-floor

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.Powder metal processing provides scalable advantages in nanoporous (np) metal development. Mechanical alloying is used to produce unique precursors for hybrid nanopore formation by oxide reduction and dealloying. As demonstrated in np Ag, this approach improves process efficiency while promoting smaller ligaments and larger pores, both of which are ...
