Influence of Viscous Lubricant on Nucleation and Propagation of Frictional Ruptures

Marie Estelle Solange Violay, François Xavier Thibault Passelègue, Federica Paglialunga

Fluids are pervasive in the Earth's crust and saturate fractures and faults. The combination of fluids and gouge layers developing along faults can generate fluids of different viscosities. Such viscous fluids were found to influence the reactivation, fric ...

Biocompatible and Biodegradable 3D Printing from Bioplastics: A Review

Sandro Carrara

There has been a lot of interest in developing and producing biodegradable polymers to address the current environmental problem caused by the continued usage of synthetic polymers derived from petroleum products. Bioplastics have been identified as a poss ...

Optimization of a Py-GC/MS method for silicone -based lubricants analysis

Christophe Roussel, Céline Burnier

Condom evidence can be analysed using several analytical techniques, such as FTIR, MALDI-MS or DART-TOF-MS, but the only one that was used on real samples for transfer and persistence studies in the context of sexual assault or rape cases was Py-GC/MS. How ...

Effect of fluid viscosity on fault frictional behaviour

Marie Estelle Solange Violay, Chiara Cornelio

Understanding fluids viscosity effects on fault dynamics can shed light on the induced seismicity in engineering reservoirs where fluids with viscosity ranking from 1mPa s-1 to 1000 mPa s-1 are also injected during hydraulic fracturing process in order to ...

Effect of fluid viscosity on fault frictional behavior

Marie Estelle Solange Violay, Chiara Cornelio

Tectonic faults are often lubricated by viscous fluids which can have different natures e.g. gas, water, brine, melt and viscosities varying over 7 order of magnitude (from 10-4 for water to 103 Pa s-1 for a melt at high temperature). Moreover, understandi ...

Characterization of Grey Cast Iron-Steel Tribo-system under Starved Lubrication Conditions

Fatemeh Saeidi

Reducing friction and wear is essential for building efficient systems with low energy consumption and a long lifetime. Surface texturing is one of the methods to reduce friction and wear, especially in oil-lubricated systems. However, there is still a lac ...

Effect of surface films on tribologically induced metallurgical transformations of steel in oil lubricated contacts

Marco Cantoni, Stefano Mischler, Shoufan Cao

This study was initiated with the aim to assess the influence of boundary films on the tribologically induced metallurgical transformations and deformations of metals in lubricated contacts and their effect on wear. For this, the tribological behavior of a ...

Detailed modeling of the dynamic behavior of petroleum in the sea during the Deepwater Horizon accident

Jeremy Samuel Arey, Jonas Gros

Field observations indicate that during the 2010 Deepwater Horizon accident, approximately one quarter of the released petroleum mass became entrapped below the sea surface, but the sequestration mechanisms remain unexplained. A multiphase buoyant plume mo ...

A review of the fate of micropollutants in wastewater treatment plants

David Andrew Barry, Christof Holliger, Luca Rossi, Jonas Margot

Municipal wastewaters are contaminated by a wide range of chemicals, from surfactants to heavy metals, including pharmaceutical residues, personal care products, various household chemicals, and biocides/pesticides. Their release into the environment, wher ...

Estimation of Organic and Elemental Carbon using FT-IR absorbance spectra from PTFE Filters

Satoshi Takahama, Matteo Reggente

Organic carbon and elemental carbon are major components of atmospheric PM. Typically they are measured using destructive and relatively expensive methods (e.g., TOR). We aim to reduce the operating costs of large air quality monitoring networks using FT-I ...
