The piston/cylinder pair is one of the most important friction pairs in the axial piston pump;
reducing the friction of it can improve the axial piston pump efficiency. In this paper, the …

The lubricating performance of the clearance oil film determines the machining accuracy of
the hydrostatic thrust bearing and the stability of the oil film. From the perspective of working …

This study explores the influence of fluid viscoelasticity in soft lubrication, in which
elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) plays an important role. Our findings reveal that …

A new starvation model is established to explore the effect of starvation on cavitation and
their couple influence on the performance of hybrid journal bearing. The starvation region is …

This study proposes the utilization of artificially textured surfaces to enhance film thickness in
line contacts operating under soft elastohydrodynamic lubrication. Moreover, this …

Purpose Tribological research is complex and multidisciplinary, with many parameters to
consider. As traditional experimentation is time-consuming and expensive due to the …

The longevity of prosthetic hip implants is significantly influenced by wear. Surface textures
of various length scales can reduce the friction coefficient and wear of lubricated bearing …

In this paper, the application scope of the average flow model is extended to grease
lubrication considering the non-Newtonian characteristics. First, flow factor expressions …

The effect of texture on tribological properties of journal bearings operating under starvation
lubrication conditions is studied in this paper. The P-θ model with mass conservation …

Based on the theory of fluid mechanics, the lubrication performance of micro‐textured
hydrostatic bearings is derived. Under extreme operating conditions, the lubrication …
