A specially equipped Volvo VHD 430 totes a Sideway-force Coefficient Routine Investigation Machine (SCRIM) – to evaluate friction on roadways to determine whether highway improvements could reduce ...

Drivetrain products like ceramic bearings that promise lower mechanical friction and higher speeds have been hyped in recent years, but skeptics say drivetrains are already efficient, so any gains ...

Sensors provide real-time, non-contact temperature data during machining and welding, improving accuracy and efficiency. The technology is adaptable for friction stir welding, enabling precise thermal ...

COLUMBUS, Ohio – An engineer at Ohio State University recently demonstrated the world's first method for directly measuring friction between tiny microelectromechanical-system (MEMS) parts. Using an ...
