Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Improving our understanding of friction, lubrication, and fatigue, Modeling and Analytical Methods in Tribology presents a fresh approach to tribology that links advances in applied mathematics with fundamental problems in tribology related to contact elasticity, fracture mechanics, and fluid film lubrication. The authors incorporate the classical tenets of tribology while providing new mathematical solutions that address various shortcomings in existing theories. From contact interactions to contact fatigue life, the book connects traditionally separate areas of tribology research to create a coherent modeling methodology that encompasses asymptotic and numerical techniques. The authors often demonstrate the efficacy of the models by comparing predictions to experimental data. In most cases, they derive equations from first principles. They also rigorously prove problem formulations and derive certain solution properties. Solutions to problems are presented using simple analytical formulas, graphs, and tables. In addition, the end-of-chapter exercises highlight points important for comprehending the material and mastering the appropriate skills. Unlocking the secrets that govern the physics of lubricated and dry contacts, this book helps tribologists on their quest to reduce friction, minimize wear, and extend the operating life of mechanical equipment. It provides a real-world industrial perspective so that readers can attain a practical understanding of the material.

Book Rheology and Elastohydrodynamic Lubrication

Download or read book Rheology and Elastohydrodynamic Lubrication written by B.O. Jacobson and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 1991-07-24 with total page 399 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book gives a thorough overview on recent developments in lubricant rheology, elastohydrodynamic lubrication and the effects of surface roughness and particulate contamination in the lubricant on the overall behaviour of a heavily loaded lubricated contact. One of the aims of the book is to make clear to the reader that a Newtonian model for the lubricant behaviour does not have enough degrees of freedom to be able to describe the friction - traction behaviour of heavily loaded lubricated contacts or the oil film build-up and collapse under surface asperities for rough surfaces. The book contains quite a lot of experimental data of lubricants at high pressures, both solidification pressures, compressibilities and shear strength increase coefficients, which make it possible to estimate the friction and power loss in heavily loaded lubricated contacts for different pressures, temperatures, sliding speeds, and lubricant types. This is the first time that data of this type has been included in a textbook and it is hoped that the questions highlighted will serve to initiate and guide future research in this field.

Book Aspects of Flow and Viscoelasticity in a Model Elastohydrodynamically Lubricated Contact

Download or read book Aspects of Flow and Viscoelasticity in a Model Elastohydrodynamically Lubricated Contact written by Ellen van Emden and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In order to extend the service life of rolling bearings and other heavily loaded lubricated contacts, the need of lubricant film thickness control significantly increases under more extreme conditions of mechanical and thermal loading and with reduced lubricant supply. To ensure maximum service life, all lubricated contacts should be designed such that under all circumstances a sufficiently large protective layer of lubricant is present to prevent direct contact between the moving parts. Pressures in the order of several gigapascals can be encountered in the contact zone between the moving parts. The field of Elasto-Hydrodynamic Lubrication (EHL) studies cases for which the elastic defomation of (one of) the solids is of the same order of magnitude, or larger, than the film thickness of the lubricant. This thesis focuses on the research of highly-loaded circular-shaped EHL contacts, under pure rolling conditions in the low velocity regime. Experimental results for film thickness under these conditions show discrepancies with the results from the conventional EHL model. The conventional EHL model assumes that there is always a sufficient supply of lubricant to the contact zone. Extensions of this model for the situation of mixed lubrication (i.e. when one or more parts of the contact do not have a protective lubricatn layer present) are bot based on first principles and their results depend on the employed computational grid density. The purpose of the present study is to gain more knowledge about how the flow of lubricant around the contact influences the ability to form an enduring lubricant film in the contact zone. A second objective is the development of a model for mixed lubrication from first principles regarding the physics of contact and flow. The model should open a wat to better predict EHL contacts in bearings operating inthe extreme thin film regime. The approach taken in this research is threefold and involves expreimental, analytial and numerical aspects.

Book Interfacial Mechanics

Download or read book Interfacial Mechanics written by Jane Wang and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2019-12-06 with total page 1005 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Understanding the characteristics of material contact and lubrication at tribological interfaces is of great importance to engineering researchers and machine designers. Traditionally, contact and lubrication are separately studied due to technical difficulties, although they often coexist in reality and they are actually on the same physical ground. Fast research advancements in recent years have enabled the development and application of unified models and numerical approaches to simulate contact and lubrication, merging their studies into the domain of Interfacial Mechanics. This book provides updated information based on recent research progresses in related areas, which includes new concepts, theories, methods, and results for contact and lubrication problems involving elastic or inelastic materials, homogeneous or inhomogeneous contacting bodies, using stochastic or deterministic models for dealing with rough surfaces. It also contains unified models and numerical methods for mixed lubrication studies, analyses of interfacial frictional and thermal behaviors, as well as theories for studying the effects of multiple fields on interfacial characteristics. The book intends to reflect the recent trends of research by focusing on numerical simulation and problem solving techniques for practical interfaces of engineered surfaces and materials. This book is written primarily for graduate and senior undergraduate students, engineers, and researchers in the fields of tribology, lubrication, surface engineering, materials science and engineering, and mechanical engineering.

Book Thin Films in Tribology

Download or read book Thin Films in Tribology written by G. Dalmaz and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 1993-09-06 with total page 763 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The tribological properties of relatively moving surfaces are greatly influenced by thin surface films which are of considerable importance in the design of machine components. From Victorian days when working lubricant films were calculated in tens of micrometres, to today when molecular dynamics simulations and even experiments are beginning to look at nanometre, single molecule thick films, the study of surfaces which is the tribologists' challenge has moved to finer and finer scales. The 66 papers in this volume provide reviews across the tribological field with thin films as their theme, giving a comprehensive and concise description on topics ranging from coatings and surface modification to bio-tribology. The articles provide the reader with an outline of their most effective application and potential uses in new technologies. The volume will be of interest not only to research workers and design engineers in the fields of new machine developments and lubrication, but also to engineers and students specialising in tribology.
