Ultime notizie sulla tribologia

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...

Researchers develop system that can be used to screen the tribological performance of hair care formulations...

This understanding could allow engineers...

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...

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...

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...

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...
