Diamond-like carbon (DLC) coatings doped with bioactive elements of silver (Ag) and
copper (Cu) have been receiving increasing attention in the last decade, particularly in the …

Diamond-like carbon (DLC) coatings are recognized for a broad range of industrial
applications due to their superior mechanical properties such as high hardness, low friction …

Low friction is one of the most important parameters for the development of machine
components and machines with high efficiency. Many of the common machine components …

Carbon films have attracted widespread interest for decades thanks to their superior
tribomechanical properties. As new carbon allotropes were discovered over time …

The overall energy efficiency of machine elements and engine components could be
improved by using new technologies such as surface modifications. In the literature, surface …

Fluid friction in elastohydrodynamically lubricated (EHL) contacts depends strongly on the
lubricant considered. Synthetic oils can have significantly lower fluid friction than mineral …

This study presents a dual experimental-numerical approach to simultaneously investigate
oil film thickness and friction in a wide elliptical thermo-elastohydrodynamic (TEHL) contact …

A barrier to the adoption of battery electric vehicles is consumer range anxiety. This paper
investigates the driving range conceded as a result of the parasitic frictional losses incurred …

Gearboxes are usually lubricated with oil or grease to reduce friction and wear and to
dissipate heat. However, gearbox applications that cannot be lubricated with oil or grease …

Octanethiol (OT) capped ZnS nanoparticles (OT-ZnS) as lubricating oil additives were
investigated by tribological tests including wear tests and rheological measurements. The …
