In this study, we evaluate the anisotropic flow of droplets according to the directionality of asperities. We manufacture a mold with an inclined hole by adjusting the jig angle using a high-power diode laser. Using the manufactured mold, we prepare specimens for wettability studies by the micro molding technique. We fabricate twelve kinds of surfaces with micro-asperities inclined at 0°, 15°, 30°, and 45° for asperity pitches of 100 ㎛, 200 ㎛, and 300 ㎛. We evaluate the static and dynamic behaviors of the droplets as a function of the asperities pitch and inclination angles. The anisotropic effect increases as the pitch increases between asperities, and the anisotropic flow characteristics increase as the inclination angle of the asperities increases. On the surface with hole pitches of 100 ㎛ and 200 ㎛, the contact angle of the droplet shows high hydrophobicity at approximately 160°, but on the surface with the 300-㎛ hole pitch, the contact angle is approximately 110°, indicating that the hydrophobic effect rapidly reduces. Additionally, when the inclination angle of the asperities is approximately 30°, the left and right contact angle deviations of the droplet are the lowest, showing that the roll-off angle is relatively low.

Finite element analysis is peformed about the crack propagation in half-space due to sliding contact. The analysis is based on linear elastic fracture mechanics and stress intensity factor concept. The crack location is fixed and the friction coefficient between asperity and half-space is varied to analyze the effect of surface friction on stress Intensity factor for horizontal crack. The crack propagation direction is predicted based on the maximum range of shear and tensile stress intensity factor.

The use of low friction wear resistant coatings for machine components is rapidly increasing. These components may operate in any lubrication regime, and less frequently even unlubricated. When run unlubricated it is easy to see the beneficial effect of a low friction coating. However, it has frequently been shown that the coating may also be very beneficial under boundary and mixed lubrication conditions. The present digest briefly presents a few interesting aspects of the use of low friction coatings in lubricated contact illustrated by selected experimental results.

We present a three-dimensional average flow model considering elastic deformation of pad asperities for chemical mechanical planarization. To consider the contact deformation of pad asperities in the calculation of the flow factor, three-dimensional contact analysis of a semi-infinite solid based on the use of influence functions is conducted from computer generated three dimensional roughness data. The average Reynolds equation and the boundary condition of both force and momentum balance are used to investigate the effect of pad roughness and external pressure conditions on film thickness and wafer position angle.

Authors measured the apparent contact angle in a yarn using microscope because it gives a useful information in the evaluation of comfort factors in fabrics. The mechanical stage of microscope was designed and built to facilitate this measurement. Variables examined were the fiber type, the twisting number, and the fluid type. All produced significant effect most of which could be rationalized based on the known concepts. The methodology used and the results obtained are discussed in detail.

The bubble motion during nucleate boiling in a microchannel is investigated numerically. The liquid-vapor interface is tracked by a level set method which is modified to include the effects of phase change at the interface and contact angle at the wall. The computations are made for various channel sizes, liquid flow rates, and contact angles. Based on the numerical results, the bubble growth pattern and its effect on the flow and heat transfer are discussed.

The surface roughness of wheels and rails are known to be major contributory factors in wheel-rail rolling noise. Generally, the rail roughness was greater than the wheel roughness. Generally, rolling noise sizes and noise level in compliance with wheel/rail roughness almost are reported with the fact that is similar. Rolling noise important factors rightly being in compliance with roughness of contact point regions of the wheel/the rail, presented from the present paper.

탐침현미경(Atomic Force Microscope)을 이용하여 탐침과 표면사이에 나노스케일의 접촉 반경을 가지는 접촉보를 만든 후 접촉 강성(contact stiffness) 을 관찰하였다. 다양한 습도 조건하에서 접촉 강성의 변화를 측정한 결과, 습도에 의해 접촉부의 인장 거동이 달라짐을 확인할 수 있었으며, 습도 변화에 따라 인장 거동의 천이점이 존재함을 확인할 수 있었다.
