Traditionally in partial elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL)the contact through lubricating films has been modeled assuming random contarct and taking into accountratio of film thickness to r.m.s roughness(h/o).In some ...

An improved methodology has been developed to characterise running-in and steady-state wear processes. The experimental study was conducted with En 31 steel specimens on reciprocating tester with ball-on-flat geometry under ...

In the present work an acoustic emission (AE) technique is used to detec: the initiation and propagation of short cracks in compressive cyclic loading. A mild steel surface was subjected to cyclic compressive stress of 100 ...

Sliding wear has been modelled on the basis of adhesive transfer as well as fatigue. In fatigue wear modelling it is assumed that the repetitive normal and tangential stressing is responsible for crack growth leading to ...

Surface was confermity characterized in an eariler study(27)on the basis of composite roughness profile.In this paper the influance of surface conformity in luberication is reported.The resuls of experiments under high ...

This paper proposes a new procedure to evaluate engine liner wear volume and wear depth particularly for short duration engine tests.The method is based on the fact that honing depth is not removed when small amount of ...
