Abstract: The objectives of this paper are to develop a means to estimate the real area of contact in sliding systems using thermal measurements and to provide experimental design guidance for optimal ...

Abstract: Analytical solutions were developed based on the Green’s function method to describe heat transfer in tissue including the effects of blood perfusion. These one-dimensional transient solutions ...

Abstract: In the 1990s, there were two experimental studies that sparked a renewed interest in thermal wave behavior at the macroscale level. Both reported thermal relaxation times of 10 s or higher. ...

Abstract: The present work examines theoretically the influence of surface coatings on the temperatures produced by friction due to sliding contact. A generalized thermal model is developed which incorporates ...
