It is well accepted that the tribological performance of surfaces can be directly correlated with their energy efficiency and lifetime. Consequently, surface patterning has gained great attention to manipulate friction and ...

Purpose: The paper aims to investigate the possibilities to control friction in lubricated systems by surface patterning, making use of a multi-scale approach. Surface patterns inside the tribological contact zone tend to ...

The present study aims at numerically predicting the frictional performance of journal bearings with single- and multi-scale surface patterns considering the real 3D surface topographies after wearing-in in mixed-elastoh ...

Today the Internet is entwined into our everyday society. From the beginning days in 1980 to today, the Internet has been evolving. The creator of the World Wide Web, Tim Berners-Lee, envisioned that the Internet would be ...

A Internet das coisas (IoT) revolucionou a forma como vivemos e trabalhamos. Sua capacidade de captar, compartilhar e utilizar informações para tomadas de decisão inteligentes, qualificam um grande potencial de mudança ...

Patterns of covariation result from the over-lapping effect of several developmental processes. By perturbing certain specific developmental processes, ex-perimental studies contribute to a better understanding of their ...

Social problems have always shown a challenge to solve; certain with more urgency than others. However, although there are currently new tools and opportunities to solve them, a more holistic view of these problems is still ...
