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 ...

In this work the fat mimicking mechanism of microparticulated whey proteins (MWP) in milk-based systems was studied using rheological and tribological techniques. Flow curves and friction measurements in a soft contact of ...

Fundamental knowledge about in vivo kinematics and contact conditions at the articulating interfaces of total knee replacements are essential for predicting and optimizing their behavior and durability. However, the ...

In this document, the Generalized Multiscale Finite Element Method (GMsFEM) is studied, which deals with constructing multiscale spectral basis functions designed for high-contrast multiscale problems. The multiscale basis ...
