Hydrodynamic and hydromagnetic stability

The reach of tribology has expanded in diverse fields and tribology related research activities have seen immense growth during the last decade. This review takes stock of the recent advances in research pertaining to different aspects of tribology within the last 2 to 3 years. Different aspects of tribology that have been reviewed including lubrication, wear and surface engineering, biotribology, high temperature tribology, and computational tribology. This review attempts to highlight recent research and also presents future outlook pertaining to these aspects. It may however be noted that there are limitations of this review. One of the most important of these is that tribology being a highly multidisciplinary field, the research results are widely spread across various disciplines and there can be omissions because of this. Secondly, the topics dealt with in the field of tribology include only some of the salient topics (such as lubrication, wear, surface engineering, biotribology, high temperature tribology, and computational tribology) but there are many more aspects of tribology that have not been covered in this review. Despite these limitations it is hoped that such a review will bring the most recent salient research in focus and will be beneficial for the growing community of tribology researchers.

Synergetic effects of surface texturing and solid lubricants to tailor friction and wear – A review

Experimental and numerical investigation of forced convective heat transfer in solar air heater with thin ribs

In modern aerospace, nuclear energy, electric power and other high-tech industries, increasingly more requirements are put forward for the enhanced performance and functionality of lubricating materials. In recent years, intelligent lubricating materials and structures with properties on demand and bionic functions by imitating the life system have aroused great interest. The trigger and feedback behaviors of functional ingredients endow intelligent materials with the ability of controllable lubrication. However, there is still a lack of a review that outlines these encouraging results. In this review, the category and lubrication mechanism of the widely used solid lubricants are summarized, and then the novel intelligent lubricating technologies with micro/nanocontainers are comprehensively introduced, including the materials, sizes and synthetic methods of micro/nanocontainers. The stimuli-responsive behaviors and tribological properties of intelligent composites storing liquid lubricants are discussed. On the basis of four kinds of dual functional lubricating materials, the reported preparation strategies and the achieved performance are introduced, and potential functionalization methods are also presented. Finally, the review ends with a brief summary and some future perspectives.
