Abstract: Surface temperature measurements within sliding contacts are useful since interfacial heat dissipation is closely linked to tribological behavior. One of the most powerful techniques for such measurements is incontact ...

Abstract: This research is aimed at understanding the mechanisms that give rise to friction induced noise in automotive windscreen wipers, with a focus on frequencies between 500 and 3500 Hz. To study this phenomenon, experimental ...

Abstract: New apparatus is described to simulate a compliant seal interface, allowing the percolation of liquid to be viewed by a fluorescence microscope. A model, based on the boundary element (BE) methodology, is used to provide ...
