Tuning dry friction with micro-honeycomb patterns

11.01.2017 Dr. Aydar Akchurin 1,218 Views

Controlling friction is one of the top priorities for many tribologists. The friction in bearings has to be reduced to increase the energy efficiency of numerous devices, while friction in transmission systems has to be […]
