Abstract: In the last few decades, micro-texturing has become a widely studied technique to modify the frictional behavior between surfaces in both dry and lubricated regimes. Among all the available techniques, the laser surface ...

Abstract: A theoretical model is developed to investigate the mechanical behavior of closely packed carbon nanoscrolls (CNSs), the socalled CNS crystals, subjected to uniaxial lateral compression/decompression. Molecular dynamics ...

Abstract: We describe benchmark experiments to evaluate the frictional properties of laser patterned low-density polyethylene as a function of sliding velocity, normal force, and humidity. The pattern is a square lattice of square ...
