The novelty of this paper is to explore the role of the imperfect journal, including the
amplitude and waviness of journal error, on the tribo-dynamic behaviors of the water …

Abstract Water-lubricated Bearings (WLBs) are the core transmission components of a ship
propulsion system, and their wear behavior primarily occurs during the starting and stopping …

The water-lubricated bearing in ship propulsion system is easily impacted by sea wave
shock, which is a great threat to the smooth start-up of the bearing system. Therefore, in the …

In this study, MoS2–hBN hybrid nanoparticles were synthesized using an advanced
microwave platform for new nanolubricant formulations. The synthesized nanoparticles were …

The present study aims at predicting the maximum temperature in line contacts depending
on operating conditions. For this purpose, a thermo-elastohydrodynamic lubrication (TEHL) …

Driven by the potential applications of sliding bearings in planetary gearboxes for wind
turbines, the wear prognosis of heavy loaded sliding bearings under low rotational speeds is …

Adequately designed and positioned surface textures are recognized as a promising way to
increase load-carrying capacity and reduce frictional losses of journal bearings. The aim of …

The transient tribo-dynamics and wear model are coupled to study the mixed lubrication-
wear behavior during start-up. The coupled numerical model involves the film thickness …

Contact models are used, among others, to describe the asperity contact in lubricated
contacts. In recent decades, a large number of contact models have been developed based …

This paper introduces the grease average flow model considering non-Newtonian
characteristics into the grease-mixed elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) numerical …
