This research addresses the application of friction stir welding (FWS) of titanium alloy Ti–6Al–4V. Friction stir welding is a recent process, developed in the 1990s for aluminum joining; this joining process is being ...

We study the Casimir friction due to the relative, uniform, lateral motion of two parallel semitransparent mirrors coupled to a vacuum real scalar field, φ. We follow a functional approach, whereby nonlocal terms in the ...

One possibility to intervene in falls due to slipping is to use shoes with soles that can resist possible slips. The objective of this research is to evaluate the friction coefficient of the female footwear for the elderly ...

Friction stir welding is a solid-state joining method conducted under large stress and strain conditions at low peak temperatures when compared to arc welding. Friction stir welding produces a large variety of microstructures ...

Surface texturing is a promising approach to tailor friction and wear between rubbing surfaces in mechanical components. In this study, surface textures with different geometries and shapes were fabricated on hardened steel ...

Objective: To investigate the degree of debris, roughness, and friction of stainless steel orthodontic archwires before and after clinical use.Materials and Methods: For eight individuals, two sets of three brackets (n = ...
