Engineers continue to be concerned about electrical discharge-machined components' high
energy consumption, machining debris, and poor dimensional precision. The aim of this …

Surface treatment of implants facilitates osseointegration, with nanostructured surfaces
exhibiting accelerated peri-implant bone regeneration. This study compared bone-to-implant …

A GelSight Max device, which employs reflectance transformation imaging against a gel-
backed elastomer tactile membrane, was used for the topographic measurement of stone …

We investigated micro-threaded stem taper surface and its impact on premature failures,
aseptic loosening, and infection in cementless hip endoprostheses. Our study focused on …

This study documents an investigation of the flow stress properties and microstructural
features of Ti6Al4V (ELI) alloy produced using laser powder bed fusion (LPBF). Selected …

Featured Application This work compares the impact dynamics of ethanol/propanol and
ethanol/water droplets on the heated plate and a novel unique bubble shrinkage …

Cooling–lubricating processes have a big impact on cutting force, tool wear, and the quality
of the machined surface, especially for hard-to-machine superalloys, so the choice of the …

Achieving a homogeneous and uniform powder bed surface as well as a defined, uniform
layer thickness is crucial for achieving reproducible component properties that meet …

Proteins can adsorb on the surface of materials, such as soft contact lenses (SCLs), and can
affect the hydrophobicity, roughness, and surface properties of the contact lenses (CLs) …

In this work, a modified numerical algorithm that couples the quasi-static theory with the
mixed thermal elastohydrodynamic lubrication (mixed-TEHL) model is proposed to examine …
