We study D-brane dynamics in the gravity dual background of ODp theories using the effective action on the worldvolume of the brane. We explore the similarities of the system with the rolling tachyon, including the exponential decrease of pressure...

In this paper an analytical model is proposed to study the nonlinear dynamic behavior of rolling element bearing systems

including surface defects. Various surface defects due to local imperfections on raceways and rolling elements are...
