What is the difference between reciprocated and non-reciprocated sliding?

23.10.2019 tribonet 792 Views

Sliding mode is an often overlooked aspect of tribological testing; in some applications surfaces are reciprocated with respect to each other, while in other applications the slider only contacts fresh counter surface. For example, in […]

New Stretchability Record Set by Nanogenerator

21.10.2019 tribonet 141 Views

A nanogenerator has set a new record by stretching in a manner similar to rubber band to more than 25 times its original length. This represents a 2500% stretchability factor, which beats the previous record […]

A two-body abrasive wear model as a contact-induced fracture process

14.10.2019 tribonet 1,019 Views

A recent work by the researchers from Leibniz University Hannover presents a 3-D framework for simulation of contact-driven-fracture processes (like abrasive wear) in filled elastomers. Modeling of material removal processes, like wear, to this day […]

Tribology in Animal World: Dietary Habits of Lepidosauria Studied via Dental Microwear

07.10.2019 tribonet 528 Views

Scientists from the Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz are studying the tooth enamel surface of lepidosauria. Lepidosauria are reptiles with overlapping scales and include approximately 7150 species of lizards, snakes, tuatara and amphisbaenians (worm lizards). The […]
