Abstract: A novel bio-inspired nickel-plated regular hexagonal texture (NPRHT) was proposed and fabricated by photolithography combined with electroless nickel plating to improve the tribological performance of a shaft/bushing bearing ...

Abstract: During micro-grinding, multiple abrasive grains on grinding wheel circulate on the workpiece causing alternating mechanical and thermal loads which result in microstructure evolution. The microstructure evolution affects ...

Abstract: ontinuous eddy covariance measurements of CO2, water vapor, and heat fluxes were obtained from a maize field within an oasis in northwest China from 1 May 2008 to 30 April 2009. The experimental setup used was shown to ...
