Magnetorheological (MR) fluids are frequently reported to have potential as lubricants for hydrodynamic bearings operating at high loads, but no comprehensive effort has been made to investigate their performance under a variety of operating conditio...
The large-diameter slurry tunnel boring machine (TBM) is widely used in the construction of tunnels across rivers and seas. However, cutter wear has become a critical issue that severely limits the tunnelling efficiency. Taking the Qingdao Jiaozhou B...
This study develops an integrated methodological approach for interpreting used oil analysis results in diesel engines, focusing on optimizing maintenance strategies. The methodology combines a literature review with a quantitative assessment of 156...
The protective coatings industry is expanding, offering significant improvements in abrasion and wear resistance, which are crucial for economic sustainability. Despite the advancements, there remains a research gap in understanding the tribological...
: An overview of the literature reveals that electrodeposition baths significantly influence deposited coatings’ morphology and properties. The present study investigates a sulphate-based bath in terms of the additive, pH, and temperature for t...
This study compares the hard turning performance under dual-nozzle minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) using mineral oil and 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride-based ionic fluids. Key performance indicators, including tool life (based on tool wear),...
To enhance the operational stability and service life of tapered roller bearings (TRBs), this study investigates the application of surface texturing technology using laser marking to fabricate micro-dimples with controlled diameters and distribution...
Medium-entropy alloys (MEAs) allow the formation of different phases, generally in a solid-solution state, and compounds that favor obtaining alloys with properties superior to those of conventional alloys. In this study, medium-entropy CuNiSiCrCoTiN...
Motivated by the potential of surface texturing to enhance the tribological performance of micro- and nano-electromechanical systems (MEMS/NEMS), this study proposes a novel non-linear optimization approach for designing textured surfaces. This model...
The collector ring/carbon brush assembly of a hydrogenerator set is a critical component for transmitting excitation current into the self-exciting winding. Its operating environment necessitates excellent corrosion resistance and current-carrying fr...
