Abstract: Abstract Ex-poro-hydrodynamic (XPHD) lubrication is a biomimetic-inspired lubrication mechanism consisting of self-sustained fluid films generated within highly compressible porous layers imbibed with liquids, whose solid phase induces compressive elastic forces that are negligible compared to… read more here.
