... serious physiological and psychological burdens on patients. In this study, with the help of surface texture aggregation of particles, gelatin microgel particles with a diameter of about 4 μm were used as lubricating substances to achieve aggregation in the texture, thus improving the friction environment...

... of the valve, especially under contaminated conditions. In this study, the friction and lubrication behavior between an SLMed valve body and a traditional spool were studied using a scaled reciprocating test rig under various contaminated conditions (frequency at 5 Hz and 25 Hz; particle concentration at 0.4...

...Dinçer Bozkaya; Sinan Müftü In chemical mechanical polishing (CMP), a rigid wafer is forced on a rough elastomeric polishing pad, while a slurry containing abrasive particles flows through the interface. One of the important factors that influence the material removal rate in CMP is the magnitude...

...M. Roy; J. L. Brand With ever increasing areal density, interactions of particles with a head-disk interface become an ever more important factor impacting the drive reliability. Although particles trapped between the head and the disk could induce mechanical damage to the media resulting...

...Ulf Olofsson; Hans Sjo¨stro¨m; Ulf Sjo¨din The contact surfaces in a boundary lubricated spherical roller thrust bearing can change form due to sliding and particle generated wear. These form changes can seriously reduce the fatigue life of the bearings. An experimental test series has been...
