The in-pipe robot is the most commonly used technique in offshore pipelines. The use of rubber sealing discs is important for in-pipe robots to ensure that the robots are moved by fluid pressures inside offshore pipelines. This paper focuses on the m...

The literature on the subject and the results of numerous research experiments indicate that single replacement cycles do not reflect the actual state of oil quality in the context of its degradation. Monitoring the operational quality of the oil in...

The acoustic emission (AE) technique is an effective method for monitoring grinding wheels, and numerous studies have been published on applying an AE to monitor grinding wheels. However, there are few studies on the effect of the location of the AE...

Metal machining production faces a myriad of demands encompassing ecology, automation, product control, and cost reduction. Within this framework, an exploration into employing a direct inspection of the machined area within the work zone of a given...

The realm of laser surface engineering has seen continual development, particularly within the realm of tribology, a field dedicated to the examination of friction, wear, and lubrication between interacting surfaces in relative motion [...]

This paper presents a theoretical model for calculating the carrying capacity of spherical hydrostatic bearings, including the deduction and solution of differential equations for fluid flow in the oil seal and the generation of bearing characteristi...

While titanium nitride (TiN) coatings are well known for their biocompatibility and excellent mechanical properties, their wear particle and debris release in orthopedic implants remains a matter of active investigation. This study addresses the effi...

In recent years, the trend towards larger wind turbines and higher power densities has led to increasing demands on planet gear bearings. The use of sliding bearings instead of rolling bearings in planetary bearings makes it possible to increase the...

Textile polymer composite is made of structured fibre matrix using textile technologies in fabrication, and gains benefits from strong mechanical properties with extra light weight. However, erosion behaviours and associated wear mechanisms of the co...

Railway systems play a pivotal role in modern transportation networks, contributing to both efficiency and environmental sustainability. This study investigated the multifaceted aspects of wear phenomena in railway engineering, focusing on their sign...
