- Hidden hierarchy in the rheology of dense suspensions. (arXiv:2305.13586v1 [cond... Dense suspensions of fine particles are significant in numerous biological, industrial, and natural phenomena. They also provide an ideal tool to develop statistical mechanics description for out-of-equilibrium systems. Predicting the bulk response of such materials has been challenging since these systems often undergo liquid-solid transitions upon a small change in...
- Study untangles friction and surface chemistry in chemically damaged hair Researchers develop system that can be used to screen the tribological performance of hair care formulations...
- Model reveals catalyst bonds can be shaken and stirred Mano Mavrikakis, professor of chemical and biological engineering at UWMadison. Photo: University of WisconsinMadison.In an advance they consider a breakthrough in computational chemistry research, chemical engineers at the University of Wisconsin (UW)–Madison have developed a model of how catalytic reactions work at the atomic scale. This understanding could allow engineers...
- Southwest Research Institute develops device to test friction, wear associated w... From Southwest Research Institute A Southwest Research Institute team has developed a mechanical testing device to analyze fluids and lubricants formulated for electric vehicles. The team modified a commercial tribology testing device to give it the capability to evaluate the impact of electric currents in fluids, measuring the wear and...
- Tribology of the diamond-silica interface State-of-the-art ab-initio simulation unveils ways to reduce friction and wear Famed for their outstanding mechanical properties, biocompatibility, and chemical stability, diamond and diamond-like carbon (DLC) have found widespread use in industries including electronics, optics, and medical devices. DLC in particular has been employed as a coating to reduce friction and...
- Not All Digital Twins Created Equal Much more than a simple 3D CAD rendering, digital twins can significantly advance operational performance. By Mark Childs and Walt Ravelo, GE Digital A digital twin that provides value to the operating capability of a power plant must include physics and empirical-based modeling, product design information, operational data, and failure-based...
- Machine Learning To Play Key RCM Role By Dr. Klaus M. Blache, Univ. of Tennessee Reliability and Maintainability Center (RMC) and Rajiv Anand, CEO, Quartic.ai With so much of what we need to fix attributed to random failure, more sophisticated tools and technologies are needed to enable the best opportunity for early detection and intervention. Understanding this, the...
