It is known that the functional performance of a surface can be improved by introducing a
dimple structure. Dimple structured surface has stunningly benefited tribological …

Surface texturing is a technique that allows for the shaping of surface topography to meet
various mechanical and tribological requirements. Abrasive-water jet (AWJ) technology is a …

This work studies the effect of a cavity with inner pressure on the adhesion of circular pillars
with a flat tip in contact with a rigid smooth surface. The inner cavity of pillars is pressurized …

Purpose This research aims to present the characteristics of dimple structure which was
fabricated using a turning machine, where the characteristics include sizes, shapes, area …

The objective of this study is to investigate and obtain an adjustable friction force between
an elastic polymeric post with cavity and a rigid, smooth, flat surface. Elastic cylindrical posts …

Abstract hypereutectic Al-Si Alloy piston has great potential for use in the automotive
industry, especially for engine components, due to its lightweight, excellent castability, good …
