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 [...]
Early Mechanical Behaviors and Origins of Earthquakes

23.03.2020

Hadrien Rattez, a research scientist in civil and environmental engineering at Duke University and Manolis Veveakis, an assistant professor of civil and environmental engineering at Duke University, have joined forces to create a model, which [...]
Hybrid Piezo-Electric Nanogenerator for Portable Electronics

11.10.2021

The push toward low powered, energy-saving devices has been a direction the electronics industry has always pursued. The switch to low powered LED lighting is a good example of this trend. Another avenue is the [...]
Friction and Wear: From Elementary Mechanisms to Macroscopic Behavior

23.09.2019

In the last 25 years, the global trend to miniaturization has raised interest in frictional processes on the micro and nano scale and facilitated appearance of nanotribology as a new branch of research. Soon it [...]
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 [...]
