Friction has been an ever-lasting research problem, ever since the fundamental experimental observations of Leonardo Da Vinci, through the empirical laws postulated by Amontons and Couloumb and until ...

Keywords: Quintuple Friction Pendulum Isolator, Spherical Sliding Isolator, Multi-stage Adaptive Behavior, Analytical Model, Computational Model Abstract: This report describes the Quintuple Friction ...

In a recent stunt, a Ford crew hitched an all-electric F-150 pickup truck to a freight train filled with 42 more F-150s. Then a driver hit the throttle, and the pickup truck towed the 1.3 ...

Integrating Macroscopic and Nanoscale Information The study's goal was to shed light on the impact of surface roughness on nanometric friction processes and to incorporate this knowledge into a ...

Irregularities present on a surface are often described as surface roughness or texture. These surface textures such as grooves and dimples impart friction, which is the force between two sliding ...
