... method of topological data analysis was applied to surface roughness data. Wetting characterizations showed stable hydrophobic behavior of the two-layer coated samples. Through tribological characterization, we compared the friction behavior of uncoated steel samples and steel samples coated...

... conditions cannot be effectively eliminated by the small amount of oil mist being applied during MQL process. To extend the applicability of MQL to more aggressive machining conditions, we have developed a potential additive to MQL lubricant. After the preliminary wetting angle measurement of the various...

... that had been adopted by many investigators in recent past. Based on a careful reinterpretation of published experimental photographic data, noting the blunt-nosed shape of the interspersing space that separates adjacent wetting outlines at the rupture boundary, it stipulates a 3D flow structure...

...Y. F. Peng; G. X. Li The present research concerns the elastic contacting adhesion of a cylinder with a perfectly wetted plane in the presence of a meniscus. The Laplace pressure due to the meniscus is simplified utilizing Maugis–Dugdale approximation. Then the Baney and Hui solution and its...
