It is highly critical to establish whether metal components are well lubricated with oil or clean during the manufacturing process. In-compartment grazing angle specular reflectance enables performing ...

Determining whether the metals components are clean or are adequately lubricated with oil is often important in a manufacturing process. Infrared analysis of tiny, flat pieces can be readily performed ...

Figure 1: Colloidal crystals on curved oil–glycerol interfaces. The topology of surfaces 21 places a constraint on the total defect charge—for example the net charge on a sphere must be 4π, as ...

The impact of liquid drops on solid surfaces is ubiquitous in nature, and of practical importance in many industrial processes. A drop hitting a flat surface retains a circular symmetry throughout the ...
