Elastohydrodynamic Lubrication (EHL): Theory and Definition

05.02.2017 tribonet

Definition of Elastohydrodynamic Lubrication (EHL) Elastohydrodynamic Lubrication – or EHL – is a lubrication regime (a type of hydrodynamic lubrication (HL)) in which significant elastic deformation of the surfaces takes place and it considerably alters […]

High Hardness Boron Rich Boron Carbide is Synthesized using CVD

18.05.2020

Hardness is a material’s resistance to plastic deformation and this property is widely used to rank materials for various engineering applications. Hard materials can be used for cutting, drilling. Hardness frequently correlates with wear resistance [...]
Droplet friction is similar to solid friction

21.11.2017

Researchers of the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research have investigated friction of liquid droplets on surfaces. A larger force is needed to set in motion stationary droplets than to keep moving droplets in motion. [...]
Tribological testing of materials for automotive industry

26.06.2017

Quality Magazine have published an article about using benchtop mechanical testing to assess materials in the automotive industry, saving time and money. Full scale tests are often used to test the frictional behaviour of materials, [...]
No Friction - Bad Earthquake

02.05.2017

It is a common trope in disaster movies: an earthquake strikes, causing the ground to rip open and swallow people and cars whole. The gaping earth might make for cinematic drama, but earthquake scientists have [...]
Measuring adhesion and friction of polymer nanofibers

04.01.2021

Nanofibers are tiny fibers with diameters measured in the nanometer range. They can be generated by a variety of methods, from various different polymers, therefore they can exhibit different physical properties with different application potentials. [...]
