Professor Dong-Myeong Shin and his team from the Department of Mechanical Engineering under the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Hong Kong (HKU) shed light on the contribution of ions in ...

Most people have experienced the hair-raising effect of rubbing a balloon on their head or the subtle spark caused by dragging socked feet across the carpet. Although these experiences are common, a ...

Static electricity was first observed in 600 BC, but researchers have struggled to explain how it is caused by rubbing. With a better understanding of the mechanisms at play, researchers potentially ...

This paper gives a review of mathematical results of existence and uniqueness of solutions to problems of linear elasticity involving friction. Static, steady sliding and quasi-static problems are ...

Protection against electrostatic discharge (ESD) now is a mainstream business, complete with products and services. As with most activities associated with high technology, the offerings continually ...

Dr. Brian Rice joined the RIT faculty after spending over 25 years in applied research while working at University of Rochester Laboratory for Laser Energetics, Lockheed Martin Corporation, and ...

The book “Uncertain Analysis in Finite Elements Models” explains uncertainty analysis for finite elements and general nonlinear problems. It starts with the fundamentals of the topic and progresses to ...
