Abstract: Part of the friction between two rough surfaces is due to the interlocking between asperities on opposite surfaces. In order for the surfaces to slide relative to each other, these interlocking asperities have to deform ...

Abstract: iquid clouds play a profound role in the global radiation budget, but it is difficult to retrieve their vertical profile remotely. Ordinary narrow-field-of-view (FOV) lidars receive a strong return from such clouds, but ...

Abstract: Strain gradient effects are commonly modeled as the origin of the size dependence of material strength, such as the dependence of indentation hardness on contact depth and spherical indenter radius. However, studies on the ...
