A tribological interface arises where parts come into contact and undergo relative motion. These interfaces entail five key components: materials, lubricants, surfaces featuring roughness and/or ...
Our faculty and students address the critical problems of surface failure that affects key components in advanced engines, manufacturing equipment and processes, bearings, batteries, and biomechanical ...
When University of Texas at Dallas researchers tested a new surface that they designed to collect and remove condensates rapidly, the results surprised them. The mechanical engineers' design collected ...
Diamond polishing and surface engineering represent a critical intersection of advanced materials science and industrial processing, aimed at overcoming the unique challenges posed by diamond’s ...
Aluminum coupon samples patterned with alternating stripes of smooth (lighter) and etched (darker) topographies display contrasting wettability. The research team developed a novel technique using ...
A team of engineers has developed a scalable technique for fabricating topography-patterned aluminum surfaces with enhanced liquid transport properties. These surfaces are critical for anti-icing ...
Surface metrology consists of the measurement of surface features such as roughness, regular patterns, irregularities, and waviness. The importance of this lies in the quality of materials and ...
These issues often stem from material limitations, including poor ion transport, unstable electrode interfaces, and dendrite formation in metal-based anodes. Overcoming these barriers requires ...
