What do you do when you feel like your entire life is friction? When everything is hard, heavy, and uphill? It would not help us to pretend that optimizing our morning routines will fix the world's ...

In this work we present a molecular dynamics simulation of a FFM experiment. The tip-sample interaction is studied by varying the normal force in the tip and the temperature of the surface. The ...

ABSTRACT: The study compares six composite dry-friction models (AV, CS, CVS, DV, SD, SV) built by combining classical static, Coulomb, viscous and Dahl terms plus Stribeck corrections. Using a ...

When the iPhone 14 Pro models were announced in 2022, Apple surprised many with its innovative integration of software functions with the pill-shaped cutout at the top of the screen. Apple calls this ...

FIFA, soccer’s global governing body, announced Thursday tickets for next year’s World Cup (co-hosted with Mexico and Canada) will be sold using dynamic pricing. The controversial method, with prices ...

Fig. 3: These conveyor belt rollers experience rolling contact fatigue during operation. Including plastic components in machinery systems that experience friction and wear results in a number of ...

Abstract: Dynamic identification is an important issue in robotics. Typically, using outlier data weighting and nonlinear friction models can effectively enhance the accuracy of dynamic identification ...

Businesses today face mounting pressure to deliver frictionless customer experiences while maintaining robust fraud prevention and security measures. Traditional verification methods often force ...

Abstract: The implementation of rigid-flexible coupled force-controlled actuators significantly enhance the performance of adaptive robotic grinding. Nonlinear friction disturbances greatly limit the ...

EXCLUSIVE: Here’s a really cool project that just got greenlit at DC Studios and Warner Bros Pictures Animation: Dynamic Duo. It will mark the first joint project between DC Studios and the Bill ...

As the NFL enters its 105th season, it will start its first with the new dynamic kickoff rules. With the NFL Kickoff Game upon us, NFL research wanted to bring light to the new kickoff rules while ...
