Elastomeric seals are prone to failure caused by abrasion during sliding against rough
surfaces. This study is devoted to investigate the two-body abrasion wear characteristics of NBR …

The root is an important organ by which plants directly sense variation in soil moisture. The
discovery of drought stress-responsive genes in roots is very important for the improvement …

Recently, the tribological characteristics of rubber elastomers have attracted widespread
attention of researchers due to its destructive character and its high frequency of occurrence. …

The fretting wear behavior of acrylonitrile–butadiene rubber (NBR) was studied. The
variation of fretting running behavior, coefficient of friction (COF) and wear mechanisms as a …

Because of the fluid viscous shear and the asperity contact friction, a temperature rise will
occur in the sealing zone, which may cause rupturing of lubrication films or wear failure of seal …

The flag leaf size of wheat is an “ideotypic” morphological trait that plays a critical role in
plant architecture and grain yield by providing photosynthetic assimilates in wheat. Although …

Turbulent boundary layer (TBL) flows widely exist in nature, as well as in aerospace and
environmental engineering applications. Wall friction velocity serves as an important parameter …

To improve lubrication effect and seal performance, complicated geometrical hydrodynamic
grooves or patterns are often processed on end faces of liquid lubricated mechanical seals. …

The ubiquitination of the hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) is mediated by interacting with
the von Hippel-Lindau protein (VHL), and is associated with cancer, chronic anemia, and …

The rheological characteristics of the oil film on the rod-seal interface in the sealing zone
have a major influence on the behavior of reciprocating seals. Because of the addition of …
