Explore the role of powder cohesion in influencing flowability, processing efficiency, and manufacturing challenges.

Six parameters that could potentially influence the frictional forces, were considered: (1) the sports surface, (2) the shoe outsole cleat design, (3) the weather conditions, (4) the weight, (5) the ...

We investigated forces felt by a bare finger in sliding contact with a textured surface, and how they depend on properties of the surface and contact interaction. Prior research has shed light on ...

We review the historical and modern understanding of the most basic equation of friction, Amontons' law, which describes phenomena that were already understood and studied by Leonardo da Vinci 500 ...

Needle insertion treatments require accurate placement of the needle tip into the target cancer. However, it is difficult to insert the needle into the cancer because of cancer displacement due to the ...
