System design and lubricating materials for spacecraft lubrication
Flow and pressure field analysis of parallel groove geometry for incompressible fluid with convective inertia effects
Bearings of titanium, cobalt, and other hexagonal crystal alloys are used in vacuum and high temperature environments. These temperature-stabilized alloys have reduced friction and wear characteristics and therefore have potential use in aircraft seals, hydraulic equipment, and artificial human joints.
