From cow manure and cookie fillings to aluminum can coatings and engine oils, a small group of scientists at Southwest Research Institute is working to help solve industry’s fluid problems. In a ...

If there are no shear stresses present, there is no fluid deformation, and the behavior of a fluid is described by the bulk modulus relating the pressure and the compression strain. In the presence of ...

It is well known that friction between lubricated surfaces is a chief source of energy losses in fluid power systems. Now, help is on the way due to research taking place within the Engineering ...

You can't escape friction. The force that resists motion between two objects that are in contact with one another exhibits itself all over the place: in between your engine's rod bearings and its ...

1.1 What is friction? Take this everyday example: when a coffee mug rests on a flat table, the kinetic frictional force is zero. There is no force trying to move the mug across the table, so there is ...
