Abstract: This paper presents a simple approach to predict the behavior of friction coefficient in the sliding lubricated point contact. Based on the load-sharing concept, the total applied load is ...

Abstract: A simple but realistic dynamic friction model for the lubricated sliding contact is developed based on decoupling the steady and unsteady terms in Reynolds equation. The model realistically ...

Abstract: Hydraulic losses of a low specific speed centrifugal pump originate in the friction and turbulent dissipations in all components between the suction and discharge nozzles as well as fluid recirculation mainly caused by ...

Abstract: A set of small-scale physical modeling of a single pile under lateral loads was performed in a loose sand environment. Digital images were captured during the lateral loading of the pile from the side and from the top of ...

Abstract: Abstract. Electrohydrodynamic (EHD) pumping induced by corona discharge under high-voltage sinusoidal alternating current (AC) presents unique challenges. These challenges include alternating electric fields from polarity ...
