Pin on Disk Test Friction and wear (typically wear rates and wear resistance) characterization of materials is typically performed using various types of tribometers, while pin on disk test being probably one of the most […]

Graphene vs. MoS2: Which One Has Lower Friction?

26.08.2019

Two-dimensional (2D) materials, layered structures having atomic- to nano-scale thickness, have shown unique physical properties such as high in-plane stiffness combined with extremely low out of plane bending rigidity. 2D materials have been used in [...]
Stability of vacuum oil in space

25.06.2018

A research team from the Research Institute of Mechanics, MSU together with a colleague from the Center of New Space Technologies, MAI described the behavior of a liquid sheet (vacuum oil) propagating in open space. [...]
Brasenia schreberi mucilage - superlubric biological liquid

21.03.2016

Superlubricity is a state of low friction, broadly defined as the state with the coefficient of friction lower than 0.01. This level is not achievable with classical lubrication mechanisms and currently other methods are being [...]
Mixed Lubrication: Wear Particles Size and Friction Evolution

10.04.2017

Wear in tribological contacts results in generation of wear particles of various sizes and shapes and these particles impact the performance of the mechanical devices. These particles may create additional mechanical damage or act as [...]
Stress Assisted Tribofilm Growth: A New Model

18.04.2017

Under extreme conditions the lubricant film fails to separate the rubbing surfaces and solid-to-solid contact occurs. To prevent excessive wear of the base materials anti-wear additives are used in these cases. The additives create a [...]
