Abrasive wear is a common failure mode of rolling bearings. To enhance the resistance of
traditional all-steel bearings to abrasive wear, the structure of traditional all-steel cylindrical …

The current study employs both experimental and numerical approaches to investigate
water-in-oil flow at the entrance of EHD contacts. In this work, for the first time, a micro-sized …

Macropitting is one of the most common gear wear mechanisms, and monitoring its initiation
and propagation is critical to ensure the safe operation of gearboxes. Wear debris analysis …

Elastohydrodynamically lubricated point contact was investigated using a two-way
partitioned fluid–solid interaction (FSI) model. ansys Mechanical finite element modeling …

An experimental study followed by modeling is carried out for pre-dented hybrid rolling
bearings to observe the raceway surface damage evolution and to try to understand its …

This paper deals with optical experimental methods for improving current knowledge on
particle entrapment in elastohydrodynamic contacts. Particular attention was paid to the …

With the increasing demand for active friction control, we newly proposed to use
dielectrophoresis to change the flow of PG-dropletcontaining PAO4 to reduce the friction …

Literature agrees that thermal effects have a great influence on friction. However, the heat
flows and the thermal behaviour of test rigs used to characterize friction coefficient are …

Embedded particles in rolling/sliding contacting surfaces like gears and rolling bearings are
common. They come from either external contamination sources or final manufacturing …

When the lubricating oil flowing between the contact surfaces contains simulated wear
particles, it is considered that there is a high possibility for the particles to enter between the …
