Modern machine elements are required to work under increasingly severe conditions
(thinner lubricating films, higher temperatures, less lubricant, etc.). Therefore, in heavily …

Understanding film formation in rough surface elastohydrodynamically lubricated (EHL)
contacts have been an ongoing pursuit in lubrication science for more than half a century …

The Stribeck curve shows the friction coefficient as a function of speed, viscosity and load.
The viscosity times speed over load parameter can be interpreted as a film thickness. The …

We study the lubricated steady sliding contact between rough surfaces of (elastically) soft
solids. A novel mean field theory of mixed lubrication is presented, which takes into account …

The ability of elastohydrodynamically lubricated (EHL) contacts to separate surfaces
represents essential design requirement ensuring long life and low friction of machine …

Graphene oxide (GO) underwent a single and double-side modification with octadecylamine
(ODA) to MGO1 and MGO2 respectively. MGO1 and MGO2 were incorporated into the O/W …

Grease is important lubricant for ball bearings as it is used much more often than oil.
However, mechanism of the lubrication is not completely clear, especially concerning the …

The commonly accepted “roughness attenuation” theory offers a description of the
deformation of surface features as they travel through elastohydrodynamic lubricated …

Using a custom-made optical interferometer, the waviness values on the raceway of the
washer of two thrust ball bearings are obtained by applying the Hertzian contact theory. The …

Surface roughness plays an important role in the performance of highly loaded
elastohydrodynamically lubricated contacts. As the pressures are very high, each of the …
