Abstract: Continuum based methods are traditionally thought to be of little value in describing boundary lubrication, or the mode of lubrication in molecular scale films that may occur at asperity ...

Abstract: The velocity, displacement, and stress field of layered liquid crystals with dislocations in a lubricating gap are investigated numerically. Galerkin’s weighted residual finite element method is ...

Abstract: The concomitant relationship between the bending and tensile strength properties of a common machine stress rated grade of dimension lumber was studied. Test specimens, subjected to a tensile proof load with the survivors ...
