Introduction to Sealing Technology

18.01.2021 F. Xavier Borras 720 Views

Let’s start from the beginning: what is a seal? A device or material that is used to close off or fasten an opening or connection, especially to prevent the escape of a liquid or gas. […]

Illusion of static friction: Does it really exist?

13.01.2021 tribonet 1,185 Views

Static friction might be an illusion made by the rotation of kinetic friction, even though, since the time of Charles-Augustin de Coulomb (1736–1806), we have believed that there exist two types of solid friction. Nakano […]

How to better predict the minimum film thickness of elastohydrodynamic contacts?

11.01.2021 Jean-David Wheeler 816 Views

Let’s say you have the choice between an almost infinite lifespan device, and a device that undergoes wear and failure within a few minutes or hours of running. In most cases, you would choose the […]

Measuring adhesion and friction of polymer nanofibers

04.01.2021 tribonet 140 Views

Nanofibers are tiny fibers with diameters measured in the nanometer range. They can be generated by a variety of methods, from various different polymers, therefore they can exhibit different physical properties with different application potentials. […]
