On the influence of workpiece material on friction in microforming and lubricant effectiveness by Taureza, Muhammad, Song, Xu, Castagne, Sylvie

“…A mathematical function is proposed to describe the calibration curves for different friction coefficients. Round bars of copper, aluminum and silver of diameter 1 mm and length 5 mm were used as the workpieces to study the material influence on friction factor, m, during unlubricated microforming process through comparison between simulation and experimental results. …”

A middle infrared hyperspectral imaging based on diffraction grating and metalens by Gong, Tu

“…The diffraction grating style is improved from blazed grating by changing the ladder or cylindrical surfaces to several bars. This design can simplify the fabrication process and hence reduce the cost. 0.457 is the highest transmission achieved for germanium material when the period is 2.82 μm and the height is 1.36 μm. …”

Fragmented and fitful: India’s energy diplomacy by Chaudhuri, PP

“…Another reason why the country’s foreign policy and energy security do not overlap is that, barring the 1970s OPEC oil crises, no international energy rupture has shocked its political system sufficiently for it to integrate external policies with domestic energy reforms in a systematic manner. …”

The corrosion of stirrups and its effect on the seismic fragility of a corroded reinforced concrete (RC) column by Zhang, Guanghui, Li, Bing
