Shear properties and dynamic responses of greases in a micrometer-order gap

Grease is used as a lubricant in a wide range of fields, including bearings, because it reduces friction, prevents harmful wear of components, protects against rust and corrosion, and acts as a seal to prevent the invasion of dirt and water. Although most of the research on grease has focused on the...
