A specially equipped Volvo VHD 430 totes a Sideway-force Coefficient Routine Investigation Machine (SCRIM) – to evaluate friction on roadways to determine whether highway improvements could reduce ...

Our friends at Friction Facts are at it again, this time with a new test fixture to measure the friction generated by bottom brackets. In this round, Friction Facts tested 35 different models from ...

Sensors provide real-time, non-contact temperature data during machining and welding, improving accuracy and efficiency. The technology is adaptable for friction stir welding, enabling precise thermal ...

Drivetrain products like ceramic bearings that promise lower mechanical friction and higher speeds have been hyped in recent years, but skeptics say drivetrains are already efficient, so any gains ...

In the journal ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces, researchers reported on a series of experiments in which they used an imaging tool —X-ray micro-computed tomography—to take 3-D images of the surface ...

COLUMBUS, Ohio – An engineer at Ohio State University recently demonstrated the world's first method for directly measuring friction between tiny microelectromechanical-system (MEMS) parts. Using an ...

Results of measuring the modulus and internal friction spectrum of TC4 titanium alloy from room temperature to 1200 ⁰ C using the new DMA. (IMAGE) Peking University ...
