DOI: 10.1016/j.wear.2017.03.010
Abstract: Abstract Rolling contact fatigue (RCF) and wear, two major deterioration processes, limit the lifetime of rails. These deterioration processes are even more severe on the curves of tracks used by heavy haul trains. Because wear… read more here.

DOI: 10.1021/acs.nanolett.0c03339
Abstract: Traditionally, the manipulation of contact mechanisms has been adopted as the primary strategy to tailor the friction properties of surfaces. On the contrary, the detaching process involving the local deformation and failure at the interface… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/mi13050711
Abstract: Currently used planar manipulation methods that utilize oscillating surfaces are usually based on asymmetries of time, kinematic, wave, or power types. This paper proposes a method for omnidirectional manipulation of microparticles on a platform subjected… read more here.
