Should the contact area really increase due to sliding, and why this is never observed?

14.08.2019

Abstract A paper by Menga, Carbone & Dini (MCD) recently published in prestigeous journal, suggests that in the contact with adhesion, the effect of tangential forces, and in particular of shear stresses assumed constant at [...]

SKF has employed Minimum Quantity Lubrication (MQL) for its own manufacturing processes and has also developed a comprehensive portfolio of MQL solutions through its LubriLean range. While SKF has recorded significant benefits from its introduction [...]
Relativistic Tribology, Tribo Plasma

12.02.2016

Gravitational waves were proved to exist, thus validating one more prediction by Albert Einstein and his general theory of relativity! Is there any relation between the relativity and Tribology? It looks like there is! “Micromechanisms [...]
Three-dimensional subatomic scale AFM can measure friction

11.05.2017

Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is an extremely sensitive technique that allows us to image materials and/or characterize their physical properties on the atomic scale by sensing the force above material surfaces using a precisely controlled [...]
