TL;DR: In this article, a three-dimensional finite element model was constructed to better study the behavior of the dynamic poroelasticity equations, and constrained, time-harmonic excitation of simulated soil and tissue-like columns was performed to determine material deformation and pore pressure distributions, as well as to identify the influence of the key model parameters under loading conditions and frequencies relevant in steady-state MRE.

TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of frictional heating on the wear of Fe 30 Ni 20 Mn 25 Al 25, a recently developed nanostructured spinodal alloy with high strength and hardness, was investigated in dry sliding against disks made from AISI 347 stainless steel.

TL;DR: The results represent the first in vivo demonstration of tissue pressure affecting intrinsic mechanical properties and have several implications, including that tissue pressure could contribute significantly to the increase in stiffness observed in cancer.

TL;DR: The influence of gamma-irradiation dose on wear and contact fatigue was determined and wear was greatest at the portion of the wear track where the lubricating fluid film was thinnest and a boundary or mixed lubrication regime prevailed.

TL;DR: In this article, it is shown that wear occurs in three different locations in journal bearings, with each of the locations showing a different predominant wear mechanism, and each wear mode also requires a different remedy to achieve wear reduction.
