Stick-slip affects torque-preload relationship during bolted joint tightening process. Its occurrence is not always possible to avoid and it can lead to an unreliable joint. In this study, tightening process was investigated ...

Monte Carlo simulation is used to study the adsorption–desorption kinetics in the framework of the kinetic lattice-gas model. Three schemes of the so-called hard dynamics and five schemes of the so called soft dynamics ...

Eight different models to represent the effect of friction in control valves are presented: four models based on physical principles and four empirical ones. The physical models, both static and dynamic, have the same ...

We present simulation results for an intruder pulled through a two-dimensional granular system by a spring using a model designed to mimic the experiments described by Kozlowski et al. [Phys. Rev. E 100, 032905 ...

The objective of this study was to determine friction ratios that maximize energy dissipation on a seismic damper. The aforementioned friction damper basically consists of mass blocks that are able to slide on a flat ...

Smell identification tests may be of routine clinical value in the differential diagnosis of PD but are subject to cultural variation and have not been systematically evaluated in the Brazilian population. We have applied ...
