Introduction The advancement in industries has resulted in increasing demand of materials resistant to surface degradation. Two major surface degradation models costing billions annually are tribological failure and corrosion. Tribological wear includes abrasive, fatigue, adhesive, […]
STLE examines the current and future state of e-mobility and technologies that impact the tribology and lubrication engineering field PARK RIDGE, Illinois, USA (June 4, 2024) – The Society of Tribologists and Lubrication Engineers (STLE) — the premier technical society […]
Introduction In industrial systems, corrosion and tribological issues such as friction and wear significantly impact components performance and operational longevity. This results in substantial energy and material losses and economic setbacks. Consequently, there is a […]
Introduction The tribological characteristics of polymers is different from those of metals and ceramic materials because of their distinct chemical composition, physical properties, and surface attributes. Polymers exhibit low surface free energy and possess viscoelastic […]
Incompatibility of oils mainly occurs when the different additives of the oils chemically react with each other forming new compounds that might not be soluble. The product could be precipitating as sludge, varnish, gel etc. […]
Introduction Tribology is need of hour in many instances and it greatly impacts the economy of any country. The significant economic impact of tribological issues on a nation’s economy is from the concurrent energy and […]
Introduction The triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) was pioneered by Wang and colleagues to convert low-frequency energy, which is often randomly distributed and irregular, into electric power. TENG operates by harnessing the coupling effect of contact electrification […]
Introduction An investigation into the combination of graphene and aluminum shows how graphene improves the friction properties of the metal in powder form. There has been a considerable amount of research into alloys and composites that increase […]
Overview Have you had the chance to watch “Avatar: The Last Airbender,” the animated television series created by Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko? The narrative centred around Aang, a youthful Avatar gifted with the […]
Introduction Achieving high energy efficiency is a primary objective for future Electric Vehicles (EVs) and Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEVs). This is a goal which is closely intertwined with thermal efficiency and design considerations. Future research […]
