Lubrication of machine parts is necessary to prevent friction and wear in machine operation. However, oxidation of lubricants upon operation changes their chemical and physical properties and causes lubrication performance to deteriorate. Besides, one liter of wasted/used lubricant oil can contaminate a million liters of water. Current methods for the timely detection of oil deterioration lack practicality. Here we show simple, a triboelectrification-based method for oil degradation monitoring, in which the oxidation can be monitored by the changes in the contact charging (and separation) signals of oil-dipped cellulose and a common polymer tapped to each other. The commercial and base oil samples are oxidized at 100-200?degrees C for up to 80 h, simultaneously monitored by ATR-FTIR and the triboelectric method. The results show that a 40-90% decrease in the triboelectric open-circuit potentials in the presence of oxidized oil can directly indicate the start of oil oxidation without other accompanying analyses.

Meniscus is an important component of the knee joint since it performs several crucial functions such as shock absorption, load bearing and transmission, maintenance of joint stability, and lubrication. The results of common meniscal injury repair approaches are not fully satisfactory with low mechanical properties and long regeneration times. A 3D collagen-based construct consisting of multilayers of lyophilized sponges separated by electrospun fibrous mats was prepared previously to serve as a substitute ...
Poly(L-Lactic acid) (PLLA)-based meniscus tissue engineering
Bahçecioğlu, Gökhan; Hasırcı, Vasıf Nejat; Hasırcı, Nesrin; Department of Biotechnology (2011)
Meniscus is a fibrocartilaginous tissue which plays an important role in joint stability, lubrication, and load bearing and transmission. Meniscal tears are commonly encountered in sports activities, or caused by degeneration of the cartilage with ageing. They lead to pain, loss of work, disturbed biomechanics of the knee and inability to walk or even move the legs. As the meniscal tissue is avascular in the inner portion, injury to this part does not heal by itself, and therefore treatments are needed. In ...
Flexibility improvement of short glass fiber reinforced epoxy by using a liquid elastomer
Kaynak, Cevdet; Tincer, Teoman (Elsevier BV, 2003-03-17)
In certain applications of fiber reinforced polymer composites flexibility is required. The aim of this study was to improve flexibility of short glass fiber reinforced epoxy composites by using a liquid elastomer. For this purpose, diglycidyl ether of bisphenol-A (DGEBA) based epoxy matrix was modified with hydroxyl terminated polybutadiene (HTPB). A silane coupling agent (SCA) was also used to improve the interfacial adhesion between glass fibers and epoxy matrix. During specimen preparation, hardener and...
Nonlinear vibration analysis of bladed disks with dry friction dampers
Ciğeroğlu, Ender; Özgüven, Hasan Nevzat (2006-08-22)
in this work, a new model is proposed for the vibration analysis of turbine blades with dry friction dampers. The aim of the study is to develop a multiblade model that is accurate and yet easy to be analyzed so that it can be used efficiently in the design of friction dampers. The suggested nonlinear model for a bladed disk assembly includes all the blades with blade to blade and/or blade to cover plate dry friction dampers. An important feature of the model is that both macro-slip and micro-slip models ar...
Comparative study on the orifice induced velocity field /
Çelebi, Sonat; Tiğrek, Şahnaz; Department of Civil Engineering (2014)
Orifices are important devices used in many hydraulic engineering applications. Therefore, investigation of flow characteristics upstream of orifices is a quite important phenomenon. One of the solution approaches is the potential flow solution. In this st udy, two different potential flow solutions presented by Shammaa et. al. and Bryant et. al are investigated and compared with the solution obtained by using computational fluid dy namics software, FLUENT. Both inviscid and volume of fluid (VOF) methods ar...
