Graphene-based nanoadditives are widely used in the field of lubrication due to their two-
dimensional (2D) structure and excellent mechanical properties. However, researches on …

This first regional issue published in STMP highlights the potential and importance of the
research carried out in Latin America regarding surface engineering and tribology. In order …

In this work, we present a novel magnetohydrodynamic flow study using micro-Particle
Image Velocimetry (m-PIV) in a rectangular channel under the effect of a uniform transverse …

Rolling element bearings are the most common type of bearings and about 90% of them are
lubricated with grease. In flow modeling grease has almost always been treated as a …

This paper puts forward a numerical investigation of non-isothermal grease flow in labyrinth
seals. The effects of heat transfer and viscous thermal dissipation in mechanical losses were …

This work presents a numerical model for predicting flow behaviour and temperature
distribution of polytetrafluoroethylene thickened grease in a roller bearing configuration of …

This work presents an investigation of magnetohydrodynamic flow in a novel double
restriction seal configuration using micro-Particle Image Velocimetry (µPIV). A conventional …

Labyrinth seals have been used in the aerospace industry for decades, for their robust
design and non-contact nature. The present needs of the aerospace industry wherein drastic …

Lubrication as a friction reduction technique has been used in variety of mechanisms and
machines. The contacting surfaces depart from each other by the pressure produced in …
