hydrodynamic lubrication – About Tribology

Minimal Quantity Lubrication: Drop on Demand Printing Technique

20.04.2020 Dr. Aydar Akchurin

Recent research (https://doi.org/10.1007/s40544-017-0183-5) has shown that about 23% of the world’s total energy consumption comes from the tribological contacts (moving parts subject to friction and wear, such as bearings, gears, etc.). This energy is lost, […]

Picking up a pen off a desk and writing with it might seem easy to you, but it’s no small feat to a robot. For one thing, once you pick up the pen, you then [...]
Tribometer managing autumn leaf problem on railways worldwide

25.02.2019

Since the 1800s, railway organizations have been struggling with low adhesion on the rail, especially during the Autumn season also known as the “slippery track season”. In Autumn, leaves fall on the rails and when [...]
Nanoscale friction on thin films

22.03.2021

In nature ‘entities’, either be living or non-living tend to behave differently at different scales by exhibiting different properties. Which play a major role in the way we frame our perspectives and opinions on them. [...]
Close Examination of Frictional Wear on an Atomic Scale

12.10.2020

Friction and wear have long been a focus of scientists, researchers, engineers, and industries around the world. The common goal is to maximize profits, however, the environmental impact becomes even more important. Wear and friction [...]
How do phonons lead to frictional energy dissipation?

18.12.2019

Friction is often associated with the generation of vibrations in the solids that are sliding over each other. Mathematically, these vibrations are described by the phonons in the two solids, the vibrational eigenmodes. Here, we [...]
