Possible links between adhesive properties and pre-sliding (static) friction response of cartilage are not fully understood in the literature. The aims of this study are to investigate the relation be
Many stick insects and mantophasmids possess tarsal ‘heel pads’ (euplantulae) covered by arrays of conical, micrometre-sized hairs (acanthae). These pads are used mainly under compression; they respon
Data which includes friction and wear test results for filtered and unfiltered fuel oils at different temperatures. The temperatures were recorded at (25, 50, 100 and 115 deg C) under oxidising (air)
In this work an improved test bed to simulate tissue including an endothelial cell (HUVEC) monolayer was developed and tested in a sliding friction test using different probe materials.
