Eriocapitella vitifolia, a species of flowering plant in the buttercup family Ranunculaceae, is native to Asia. [1] The specific epithet vitifolia means "vine-leaved, with leaves resembling those of Vitis", [2] the genus of grapevines, and so the plant is commonly called the grape-leaved anemone or grape-leaved windflower.
The Society for Tribology and Lubrication Engineers (STLE) has documented a large number of frictional, wear and lubrication tests. Standardized wear tests are used to create comparative material rankings for a specific set of test parameter as stipulated in the test description.
Vitis labrusca. Ampelography (ἄμπελος, "vine" + γράφος, "writing") is the field of botany concerned with the identification and classification of grapevines, Vitis spp. Traditionally this has been done by comparing the shape and colour of the vine leaves and grape berries; more recently the study of vines has been revolutionised by DNA fingerprinting.
This is a list of organizations involved in research in or advocacy of tribology, the scientific and engineering discipline related to friction, lubrication and wear This is a dynamic list and may never be able to satisfy particular standards for completeness.
Tribology is the science and engineering of understanding friction, lubrication and wear phenomena for interacting surfaces in relative motion. It is highly interdisciplinary, drawing on many academic fields, including physics , chemistry , materials science , mathematics , biology and engineering . [ 1 ]
An official STLE journal, Tribology Transactions, is published by Taylor and Francis [5] and the society is also affiliated with Tribology Letters, published by Springer. [6] The STLE also publish a monthly magazine, Tribology and Lubrication Technology. [7]
He also wrote several popular science articles on tribology topics in Scientific American. [ 10 ] [ 11 ] His seminal book " Friction and Wear of Materials " [ 12 ] was first published in 1965. [ 1 ] According to Google Scholar , his work has been cited on more than 10,000 occasions.
Nanotribology is the branch of tribology that studies friction, wear, adhesion and lubrication phenomena at the nanoscale, where atomic interactions and quantum effects are not negligible. The aim of this discipline is characterizing and modifying surfaces for both scientific and technological purposes.
