This paper describes an accelerate aging procedure used for investigating the surface
alteration of PTFE gaskets commercialized by two alternative producers. These gaskets are …

This paper investigates the effect of a prolonged acid and thermal attack, on the surface of
PTFE by Fourier Transform Infrared Micro-Spectroscopy (μFT-IR). The materials are …

This paper presents an experimental characterization of an industrial, entry level
piezoelectric device with open loop control, whose working principle is based on friction. As …

ABSTRACT Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer (EPDM) rubber emerges as a dominant
elastomer for major engineering applications. The major properties of EPDM are its …

This paper investigates the effect of a prolonged acid attack on the surface of PTFE by
Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) and Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC). PTFE is …

This paper investigates the surface alteration of gasket samples commercialized by two
alternative producers. These gaskets, in polymeric materials, are installed in process plants …

The present paper aims at the investigation of the nature and possible origin of solid
residues found in the washing basins of Ultrasonic Mould Cleaning System (UMCS) plants …

This paper is analyzing the impact of the construction element position of ship winch drum
on the effects of torque transmission by friction in the mechanization welding process. The …

Crossed helical gears are used in cars and many household appliances. The trend towards
