Physics and Python stuff. Most of the videos here are either adapted from class lectures or solving physics problems. I ...

A research team led by Prof. Tian-Bao Ma from the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Tsinghua University has proposed a ...

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 ...

The modeling and simulation of the contact dynamics of the flexible telescopic manipulator is studied; considering the global flexibility of the telescopic manipulator and the Coulomb friction and ...

Hence, the coulomb law of friction yields higher feed forces than a shear frictional law. A µ value higher than 0.3 increases the feed force predictions but significantly affects the chip formation ...

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 ...

Normal and shear forces were measured as a function of surface separation, D, between hydrophobized mica surfaces bearing layers of a hydrophobic−polyelectrolytic diblock copolymer, poly (methyl met ...
