Hydrodynamically Lubricated and Grooved Biomimetic Self-Adapting Surfaces

In many machines and mechanical components, there is a need for new bearing technologies to reduce friction and wear, and provide precision control of motion when the load is varied. This can be provided by electronically controlled actuators and sensors on the surfaces, but then the system reliabil...
