Micro surface textures have various applications, such as friction/wear reduction and bacteria sterilization. Deformation-based micro surface texturing has the potential of economically creating micro surface textures over a large surface area. A novel desktop micro surface texturing system is proposed for efficiently and economically fabricating micro channels on the surface of thin sheet material for micro fluid and friction/wear reduction applications. Both experimental and numerical studies were employed to analyze the problems of the flatness of the textured sheet, the uniform of the channel depth and pile-ups built up during the micro surface texturing process. The results demonstrated a clear relationship between relative velocity of the upper and lower rolls and the flatness of the textured sheet and the final profile of the micro channels.

AbstractTo reveal the effect of vein-bionic surface textures on the tribological behavior of cylindrical roller thrust bearings (CRTBs) under starved lubrication, six kinds of leaves (Forsythia, Clausena lansiu, Ash, Purple leaf plum, Pipal and Apricot) were chose and their simplified patterns were fabricated on the shaft washers of CRTBs using laser surface texturing. The coefficients of friction (COFs) of vein-bionic textured bearings were measured using a vertical universal wear test rig. Their mass losses and worn surfaces were also characterized. The results show that: There is important influence of the symmetry of vein-bionic textures and the number of secondary veins on the friction and wear properties of vein-bionic textured CRTBs under starved lubrication. Compared to the smooth group, the COFs and mass losses of vein-bionic textured bearings are all reduced. Among all groups, the tribological performance of bearings with a pattern inspired from Ash is the best. Its wear loss is reduced by 16.23% and its COF is reduced by 15.79%. This work would provide a valuable reference for the raceway design and optimization of roller rolling element bearings.

Exhaust system noise is a major noise source of diesel tractor engines. In this article, this problem is improved by using bionics to alter the noise transmission route. By imitating the unique microstructures of owls, goshawks and sharks, the noise reduction effect was studied by designing bionic surface textures for the inner walls of exhaust tailpipes through bionic modification. Different shapes of textures (rectangle, sine, diamond, triangle, inverted triangle, and a combination of all 5 different shapes) with heights of 1.5 mm were designed for application on the inner walls of the exhaust tailpipes. Under the premise of not changing the structure and arrangement of the entire exhaust tailpipe system, bionic nonsmoothing and basic acoustic theories were used in 3D modeling, mesh discretization and acoustic simulation for each convex texture. The noise reduction effects on different tractor bionic exhaust tailpipes were studied while utilizing identical convex texture heights, and the convex texture with the best noise reduction effect was identified.

Examination of sand grain surfaces from early Paleozoic sandstones by electron microscopy reveals a variety of secondary effects caused by rock-forming processes after final deposition of the sand. Detailed studies were conducted on both coarse (≥0.71mm) and fine (=0.25mm) fractions of St. Peter Sandstone, a widespread sand deposit underlying much of the U.S. Central Interior and used in the glass industry because of its remarkably high silica purity.The very friable sandstone was disaggregated and sieved to obtain the two size fractions, and then cleaned by boiling in HCl to remove any iron impurities and rinsed in distilled water. The sand grains were then partially embedded by sprinkling them onto a glass slide coated with a thin tacky layer of latex. Direct platinum shadowed carbon replicas were made of the exposed sand grain surfaces, and were separated by dissolution of the silica in HF acid.
