Roughness generation
Atomistic Tribology
Atomic scale deformation responsible for surface roughness
04.05.2020 TriboNet

Most of the natural or engineered surfaces are not perfect, meaning they are rough. The surface roughness was found across many scales: from atomic to tectonic. The earth looks smooth from space, but someone standing […]

    A very simple estimate of adhesion with rough surfaces based on a bearing area model

    19.02.2018
    Here we present an abstract to the paper addressing a simplified model for adhesion between hard rough solids. Abstract In the present note, we suggest a single-line equation estimate for adhesion between elastic (hard) rough [...]

    On the history of elastohydrodynamics

    01.02.2018
    Here we present an abstract to a paper devoted to the history of eastohydrodynamic theory and his founder – Alexander Mohrenstein-Ertel. This paper discusses in detailes the peculiar biography of the scientist and the early years of the [...]

    Feeling of a touch for robots through artificial intelligence and contact area patterns

    06.06.2017
    Eight years ago, Ted Adelson’s research group at MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) unveiled a new sensor technology, called GelSight, that uses physical contact with an object to provide a remarkably detailed [...]

    CFD simulation of lubricant flow in bearings

    04.10.2021
    Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is a science that studies various fluid flows and flow related behaviours with the aid of computers. CFD is increasingly used to produce quantitative predictions of flow behaviours and get more [...]
