...Brian Vick; William C. Schneck, III The objectives of this paper are to develop a means to estimate the real area of contact in sliding systems using thermal measurements and to provide experimental design guidance for optimal sensor locations. The methods used are a modified cellular automata...

... as lubricants because of their liquid-like behavior in sliding contacts and due to their ability to carry loads and accommodate surface velocities. The present work attempts to model a granular Couette flow using a lattice-based cellular automata computational modeling approach. Cellular automata (CA...

.... This work describes the usefulness of employing lattice-based cellular automata (CA), a deterministic rule-based mathematics approach, as a tool for modeling granular flows in tribological contacts. In the past work, granular flows have been modeled using the granular kinetic lubrication (GKL) continuum...
