Filtered cathodic vacuum arc (FCVA) deposition technology was applied to prepare tetrahedral amorphous carbon (taC) thin films with different substrate pulse biases. Their structure, adhesion strength, and corrosion behavior in 5 × 10−2 M...
Despite great research effort in recent decades, cavitation in hydrodynamic journal bearings is still a not completely understood phenomenon. In particular, it is unclear which proportions of different cavitation types are present in a bearing. Novel...
Turbulence and instability problems are unavoidable challenges for fluid film bearings as rotation speed continues to rise. This paper investigates the effect of turbulence on the dynamic characteristics of two non-circular journal bearings, hybrid t...
The characteristics of pavement texture are key determinants of skid resistance, directly affecting tire-pavement interactions. This study examines the relationship between separated pavement textures and friction coefficients under dry and wet condi...
The optimization of passenger car efficiency is an important contribution to GHG emissions mitigation. This global warming concern is pushing technological solutions to reduce vehicle fuel consumption and consequently CO2 emissions. In this work, the...
We have investigated the sealing performance of different sealants and the abrasive effect of some Martian regolith simulants (MGS-1 and JEZ-1) by pin-on-disc tests using steel and various pin material pairs. Pin materials, representing sealants, wer...
