1. Journal Papers
Papers that have appeared in Refereed Journals. The papers have been scanned into Adobe Acrobat [pdf] and are available for online viewing. The quality of the printing from these files is about that of a bad photocopy or a good fax. I appologize in advance for this. Abstracts from these publications are given in their entirety in HTML format.

2. White Papers
In the future, I will occasionally put to paper my ideas on established areas within my research interest, or new areas of research that I am passionately curious about. While this is an excercise that I enjoy and do primarily to clarify my own personal thoughts on various research topics, I will make these available for the curious reader.

3. Articles and Other Documents
Some papers that did not appear in Refereed Journals, such as conference proceedings, will be located in this section. Masters and Doctoral Theses will be posted here as well.

4. Online Presentations
Many of the presentations given by the tribology laboratory are published here in "Flash Format .swf" the plugin for internet Explorer and Netscape Navigator are available from www.macromedia.com.

Online Software
A series of Hertzian contact calculators are located here. These calculators are still being debugged, so please use with careful prudence.


If you plan on viewing the [pdf] version of these documents please remember to download the latest version of Adobe Acrobat Reader 4.0 from Adobe Systems. www.adobe.com
