Abstract: In this paper, three lubricants are tested by a fourball tribotester and in a cold rolling process. Our experimental results show that the data from the fourball tests and the cold rolling tests are generally consistent ...

Abstract: Geckos can climb freely on various types of surfaces using their flexible and adhesive toes. Gecko-inspired robots are capable of climbing on different surface conditions and have shown many important applications. ...

Abstract: Abstract. During berthing, ships rely on auxiliary diesel engines for power, leading to suboptimal fuel efficiency and significant carbon emissions that compromise port air quality and public health. This article proposes ...
