Bolt connection structure is a common form of connecting large and complex equipment. Its object contact surfaces under normal and tangential loads will appear in the form of slip and adhesion, which affects the service life of mechanical equipment....

In this study, novel surface engineering strategies to improve the wear performance of AISI 4340 were investigated. The strategies were as follows: (i) NiP deposition on a previously nitrided steel substrate, followed by NiP interdiffusion heat treat...

In order to cope with the shortage of non-renewable energy and the increasingly environmental pollution, sustainable vegetable oils, as competitive alternatives, have widely been held in the good graces of the researchers. Vegetable oils are suitable...

Advancements in contact mechanics play an important role in the design of modern mechanical and bio-medical systems, enhancing their efficiency, power density, and reliability [...]

Water-based lubricating fluids (WBLFs), known for their significant environmental benefits, are the focus of this study. The properties of WBLFs directly influence lubricated mechanisms’ longevity and operating efficiency. WBLFs are enhanced us...

Temperature has a great influence on the stability of bearing performance. For the study of bearing steady-state temperature, this paper proposes a test method to quickly predict the steady-state temperature of the outer ring of a bearing, which solv...

Lubricants must exhibit good tribological behavior at low temperatures to ensure reliable startups in very cold regions. This study investigates the performance of lubricants, with a specific focus on their capacity for high-temperature lubrication a...

The remaining useful life (RUL) of bearings is vital for the manipulation and maintenance of industrial machines. The existing domain adaptive methods have achieved major achievements in predicting RUL to tackle the problem of data distribution discr...

In this study, the tribological properties of nanocomposites based on ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) filled with nano-CuO and 2-mercaptobenzothiazole (CuO/MBT) in mass ratios of 1:1 and 2:1 were investigated. In the supramolecular...

With sustainability dominating the industry, recycling the generated waste from different processes is becoming increasingly important. This study focuses on recycling waste generated during aluminum anodizing waste (AAW) in friction material formula...
