Abstract: A numerical model is presented for computing the static friction coefficient of rough surfaces with a soft thin film. In the calculation, an improved model, based on that due to Derjaguin et ...

Abstract: The effect of a deposited soft thin metallic film on friction properties of a hardened steel substrate has been investigated experimentally and theoretically. The dependency of the film thickness ...

Abstract: A numerical simulation technique based on elastic asperity deformation is presented to analyze real surface contact and pressure distributions in sliding wear. The calculations have been applied ...

Abstract: AbstractHere sea ice concentration derived from the Special Sensor Microwave Imager/Sounder and thickness derived from the Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity and CryoSat-2 satellites are assimilated in the National Centers ...

Abstract: A large outburst flood from a glacial terminal moraine lake can cause severe damage to downstream communities. This paper presents a study on the outbursts of glacial terminal moraine lakes in the upper Nainchu River basin ...

Abstract: The fault detection of turboshaft engines is very important to ensure the flight safety of helicopters. Because there are few fault data in engine historical operation data, engine fault detection is often regarded as an ...
