Bio-based lubricants are rapidly gaining prominence as sustainable alternatives to petroleum-derived counterparts, driven by their inherent biodegradability, low ecotoxicity, and strong alignment with global environmental and regulatory imperatives....

Encapsulation of lubricating agents has many advantages, as it helps to protect them from external factors, oxidation and degradation, can support their controlled and prolonged release, and also preserves the environment from accidental contaminatio...

Shaft deflection degrades roller alignment and intensifies stress concentration/edge effects at roller-ends and raceway edges, ultimately compromising service performance of tapered roller bearings (TRBs). Therefore, a dynamic model was developed for...

This study evaluates media-level filtration behaviour and short-term fuel consumption outcomes for five spin-on lubricating oil filters operated under real driving conditions at high altitude. To improve interpretability, filters are reported using p...

Ball joints are components of the vehicle axle, and their friction characteristics must be considered when evaluating vibration behavior and ride comfort in driving simulator-based simulations. To model the three-dimensional friction behavior of ball...

This study investigates the fabrication and performance of a novel composite material by infiltrating SnSb11Cu6 babbitt alloy into an open-cell AlSn6Cu-SiC matrix. The composites, produced via a multi-stage liquid-state processing route, were compreh...

As a renewable fuel for diesel engines, biodiesel plays a significant role in improving the lubricating performance of low-sulfur diesel. The decline in lubricity of low-sulfur diesel can lead to increased friction and exacerbated wear on the surface...

This study investigates the tribological performance and wear mechanisms of graphite and polydopamine/graphite (PDA/graphite) coatings on stainless steel under dry sliding conditions. While graphite is widely used as a solid lubricant, its poor adhes...

This study evaluates the tribological properties of poly-DL-lactic acid (PDLLA) nanosheets attached to shark-skin surfaces with varying textures. The main goal was to assess friction reduction in samples with different surface textures and investigat...

This study investigates the impact of in situ boron reinforcement on a biocompatible Ti-30Zr-10Ta alloy produced by powder metallurgy for biomedical applications. This research focused on understanding the influence of boron content (0 to 5 wt.%) on...
