Introduction Over the past two decades there are extensive tribological research on various 2D materials, such as graphene and transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs), has been conducted with different conditions. These materials demonstrate excellent friction performance […]
Cartilage degeneration is due to osteoarthritis (OA) which is commonly seen in aging populations. This degeneration occurs due to the deterioration of the mechanical and tribological properties of articular cartilage (AC), primarily caused by lubrication […]
Introduction Many natural fiber polymer composites offer properties comparable to those of synthetic fiber-reinforced composites and are utilized in various engineering systems. However, natural fibers have certain drawbacks, such as high moisture absorption due to […]
Since February 2023 an Open Innovation Test Bed (OITB) dedicated to Tribology and Material Characterization is open for work, i-TRIBOMAT: The European Tribology Centre. Figure 1. i-TRIBOMAT: The European Tribology Centre. Ever-growing customer demands lead to […]
Introduction Tribology test methods have been widely applied to semi-solid foods and particulate systems, but detailed interpretation is still lacking. Friction results are typically analyzed using classical lubrication mechanisms like the Stribeck curve, which differentiates […]
Event provides tribology and lubrication engineering enthusiasts with the latest in electric vehicle technology PARK RIDGE, Illinois (August 15, 2024) ─ The Society of Tribologists and Lubrication Engineers (STLE) — the technical society for individuals […]
Introduction The human body is a dynamic and challenging environment for implanted medical devices due to its ever-changing conditions within the body that can significantly affects the functionality and longevity of these devices. Therefore, it […]
Wear is an inevitable process in which material is gradually removed from solid surfaces as they interact with each other. This phenomenon is critical in various fields, from automotive and aerospace engineering to everyday items […]
Introduction A Safety Data Sheet (SDS), also known as a Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS), is a critical document in workplace safety and health. A Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for lubricants is a comprehensive document […]
Introduction From a food consumption perspective, aging brings about challenges related to eating ability, saliva production, sensory perception in the mouth, swallowing, and digestion, all of which impact overall nutrient intake. To address these issues, […]
