Effect of roughness orientation on lubricant film thickness has been an important issue of
surface design, attracting much attention since the 1970 s. A systematical study, however, is …

A discrete probability distribution function is used to represent the squared transverse
roughness effect in a modified Reynolds equation, and the Reynolds equation is used to …

The rheological characteristics of the oil film on the rod-seal interface in the sealing zone
have a major influence on the behavior of reciprocating seals. Because of the addition of …

In this paper, aero-engine main-shaft ball bearing is for research, firstly, bearing quasi-
dynamics is applied to acquire the mechanical and kinematic parameters, then non …

A lubrication theory that includes the coupled effects of surface roughness and anisotropic
slips is proposed. The anisotropic-slip phenomena originate from the microscale roughness …

A general solution scheme to account the surface roughness and the cross-film viscosity
variation of lubricant due to its non-Newtonian behavior and rise in fluid-film temperature for …

An average modified Reynolds equation (AMRE), considering the coupled effects of
anisotropic slip and roughness, is linearized at the operation point to obtain the static and …

A wet (oil-lubricated) band brake is a critical component in the operation of automatic
