Computer modeling of rubbing between two surfaces with microasperities capable of expanding or contracting under conditions of frictional heating (i.e., possessing either positive and negative coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE)) allowed for the i...

This study investigated the high-speed cutting performance of 7050 aluminum alloy with prefabricated crystal orientations under dry-cutting conditions. Three specimens with different crystal orientations were prefabricated using pre-deformations of 1...

Carbon fiber-reinforced polytetrafluoroethylene (CF/PTFE) composites are frequently used in tribological dry gas applications, such as in dynamic seals in reciprocating hydrogen gas compressors and Stirling engines, due to their superior friction and...

Diaphragm plates, a key part of high-pressure hydrogen gas compressors, are easily cracked or broken due to repeated shape deformations caused by pressure, resulting in increasing difficulties in maintenance. This study aimed to improve the durabilit...

Nanofluid lubrication and machining are challenging and significant tasks in manufacturing industries that are used to control the removal of a material from a surface by using a cutting tool. The introduction of a nanofluid to the cutting zone provi...

The purpose of this study is to generate some experimental data associated with the thermal heat exchange between an oil jet flow and a rotating gear. To this end, a specific test bench was designed. The principle of this test bench is to inject oil...

Efforts to enhance quality control (QC) practices in chip seal construction have predominantly relied on single surface friction metrics such as mean profile depth (MPD) or friction number. These metrics assess chip seal quality by targeting issues s...

The surface quality of machine elements may deteriorate over time while operating under different conditions. This deterioration adversely affects the wear behavior in the contact areas, and these materials become unusable over time. In machine eleme...

Due to the intense noise interference in hydraulic systems, it is extremely difficult to detect component faults through vibration signals. Diagnostic performance is also constrained by highly time-varying and non-stationary operating conditions. Thi...

The effect of graphene (GR) on Ni surface relaxation and reconstruction in three different substrate orientations, {111}, {001}, and {011}, at two different temperatures, 300 K and 400 K, was studied using molecular dynamics simulation. The change in...
