Corrosion is a major challenge in various industries and can cause significant damage to metal structures. Organic corrosion inhibitors are compounds that are used to reduce or prevent corrosion by forming a protective film on metal surfaces. The pre...
This paper introduces an experimental approach to study the distribution of power losses in an oil jet-lubricated planetary gear set, with the aim of increasing the efficiency of these gearboxes. A thermal model is developed to estimate power losses...
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), also known as forever chemicals, exhibit exceptional chemical stability and resistance to environmental degradation thanks to their strong C-F bonds and nonpolar nature. However, their widespread use and pe...
Vegetable oils have been used as metalworking fluids (MWFs) for many years, particularly in small-scale metalworking operations and in industries where environmental regulations are strict. Before the development of modern MWFs, vegetable oils were o...
Lubricating oils play an important role in friction-reducing and anti-wear, as well as enhancing mechanical efficiency. To improve the oxidation stability and service life of lubricating oils, the composition and structure of antioxidants should be s...
Dry mouth, also known as xerostomia, is a condition in which insufficient or ineffective saliva does not provide sufficient oral lubrication. The severity of this condition can vary from a mild discomfort to a debilitating condition that greatly impa...
Increasingly restricted availability and environmental impact of mineral oils have boosted the interest in sustainable lubrication. In this study, the thickening properties of sodium carboxymethyl celluloses (CMCs) were investigated in order to asses...
Improving the lubricating properties of base oils through additives is a crucial objective of tribological research, as it helps to reduce friction and wear of materials. Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) is a 2D nanomaterial with excellent tribological pr...
Physics-informed machine learning (PIML) has gained significant attention in various scientific fields and is now emerging in the area of tribology. By integrating physics-based knowledge into machine learning models, PIML offers a powerful tool for...
Despite the ubiquity and prevalence of rheological consistency across a wide range of industries, there is no clear consensus on its meaning or on one particular technique for quantifying it. Instead, there exist various definitions of “consist...
