Optimum dimple diameter for friction reduction with laser surface texturing: the effect of velocity gradient
This paper describes the modelling and testing of mm-scale hydrodynamic bearings which are being developed to improve the efficiency of a cm-scale turbine energy harvester, whose efficiency was previously limited by poorly lubricated commercial jewel-bearings. The bearings were fabricated using DRIE and their performance was assessed using a custom built MEMS tribometer. Results demonstrate tha...
متن کاملReducing the Magnetic Tape/guide Friction Coefficient by Laser Surface Texturing: Experimental Analysis
The friction coefficient is an important parameter in designing magnetic tape transports. We have introduced laser surface texturing to reduce the friction coefficient between guides and magnetic tape. The surface features enhance the formation of an air bearing and hence, reduce the friction coefficient. INTRODUCTION Lateral tape motion (LTM) is defined as the time-dependent motion of the tape...
متن کاملLaser Surface Texturing of Polymers for Biomedical Applications
Polymers are materials widely used in biomedical science because of their biocompatibility, and good mechanical properties (which, in some cases, are similar to those of human tissues); however, these materials are, in general, chemically and biologically inert. Surface characteristics, such as topography (at the macro-, micro, and nano-scale), surface chemistry, surface energy, charge, or wett...
متن کاملFriction Laws for Elastic Nano-Scale Contacts
– The effect of surface curvature on the law relating frictional forces F with normal load L is investigated by molecular dynamics simulations as a function of surface symmetry, adhesion, and contamination. Curved, non-adhering, dry, commensurate surfaces show a linear dependency, F ∝ L, similar to dry flat commensurate or amorphous surfaces and macroscopic surfaces. In contrast, curved, non-ad...
متن کاملEffect of surface texturing by femtosecond laser on tantalum carbide ceramics for solar receiver applications
Tantalum carbide, as a Ultra-High Temperature Ceramic, is known to be characterized by intrinsic spectral selectivity, which makes it attractive for novel high-temperature thermal solar absorbers. However, a weakness point of TaC is the solar absorbance, which, in absence of any treatment, is usually lower than that of other materials currently under development for solar absorber applications....
