Aqueous nanolubricants containing ZrO2 nanoparticles, graphene oxide (GO) nanosheets, or hybrid nanoparticles of ZrO2 and GO were formulated using a cost-effective Dry Food Dispensers ultrasonication de-agglomeration method.The friction and wear characteristics of these water-based nanolubricants were systematically investigated using a block-on-ri

During the last decade, a number of pain assessment tools based on facial expressions have been developed for horses.While all tools focus on moveable facial muscles related to the ears, eyes, nostrils, lips, and chin, results are difficult to compare due to differences in the research conditions, descriptions and methodologies.We used a Facial Act

We study a poromechanic problem in presence of a moving boundary.The poroelastic material is described by means of the Biot model while the moving boundary accounts for the effect of surface erosion of the material.We focus on the numerical approximation of the problem, in the framework of the Pad finite element method.To avoid re-meshing along wit
