The effect solid particle lubricant contamination on the dynamic behavior of compliant journal bearings

The proposed work concerns a theoretical and numerical investigation of the effect of solid particle contamination of lubricant oils on the static and dynamic characteristics of a finite length compliant journal bearing operating under isothermal conditions with laminar flow. In the present investigation, we use simple models based on the Einstein's mixture theory, which is characterized by the presence of suspended rigid particles in a fluid. Using the classical assumptions of lubrication, a Reynolds equation is derived and solved numerically by the finite difference method. The displacement field at the fluid film bearing liner interface due to pressure forces is determined using the elastic thin layer model. The results obtained show that the presence of suspended rigid particles in the lubricating oil (solid contamination) has significant effects on the hydrodynamic performance characteristics such as the pressure field, friction force, flow rate, elastic surface deformation as well as stability maps of the rotor‐bearing system (critical mass and whirl frequency) especially at high volumetric concentration.

Analysis of elastohydrodynamic lubrication in McKee-Farrar metal-on-metal hip joint replacement

An elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) analysis was carried out in this study for a typical McKee-Farrar metal-on-metal hip prosthesis under a simple steady state rotation. The finite element method was used initially to investigate the effect of the cement and bone on the predicted contact pressure distribution between the two articulating surfaces under dry conditions, and subsequently to determine the elastic deformation of both the femoral and the acetabular components required for the lubrication analysis. Both Reynolds equation and the elasticity equation were coupled and solved numerically using the finite difference method. Important features in reducing contact stresses and promoting fluid-film lubrication associated with the McKee-Farrar metal-on-metal hip implant were identified as the large femoral head and the thin acetabular cup. For the typical McKee-Farrar metal-on-metal hip prosthesis considered under typical walking conditions, an increase in the femoral head radius from 14 to 17.4 mm (for a fixed radial clearance of 79 microm) was shown to result in a 25 per cent decrease in the maximum dry contact pressure and a 60 per cent increase in the predicted minimum film thickness. Furthermore, the predicted maximum contact pressure considering both the cement and the bone was found to be decreased by about 80 per cent, while the minimum film thickness was predicted to be increased by 50 per cent. Despite a significant increase in the predicted minimum lubricating film thickness due to the large femoral head and the thin acetabular cup, a mixed lubrication regime was predicted for the McKee-Farrar metal-on-metal hip implant under estimated in vivo steady state walking conditions, depending on the surface roughness of the bearing surfaces. This clearly demonstrated the important influences of the material, design and manufacturing parameters on the tribological performance of these hard-on-hard hip prostheses. Furthermore, in the present contact mechanics analysis, the significant increase in the elasticity due to the relatively thin acetabular cup was not found to cause equatorial contact and gripping of the ball.     

The maximum tensile stres on a hard coating under sliding friction

In the friction of a hard coating the maximum tensile stress in the sliding direction generated at the friction surface is important for predicting crack propagation in the coating. The finite element method is employed to evaluate the stress field in the hard coating and the substrate under frictional loads, and the ratio between the values of maximum tensile stress and the maximum contact pressure is calculated under various contact conditions. Finally, a simple equation is introduced for the calculation of the maximum tensile stress at the friction surface. This equation is a function of friction coefficient, maximum contact pressure, coating thickness, contact width and elastic moduli of coating and substrate, and gives the value of the maximum tensile stress which is affected by the existence of the substrate.     

Modeling Sliding Contact of Rough Surfaces with Molecularly Thin Lubricants

The sliding contact between two rough surfaces in the presence of a molecularly thin lubricant layer is investigated. Under very high shear rates, the lubricant is treated as a semi-solid layer with normal and lateral shear-dependent stiffness components obtained from experimental data. The adhesive force in the presence of lubricant is also adapted from the Sub-boundary lubrication model and improved to account for variation in surface energy with penetration into the lubricant layer. A model is then proposed, based on the Improved sub-boundary lubrication model, which accounts for lubricant contact and adhesion and its validity is discussed. The model is in good agreement with published experimental measurements of friction in the presence of molecularly thin lubricant layers and suggests that a molecularly thin lubricant bearing could be successfully used to reduce solid substrate damage at the interface.

针对边界膜对摩擦副润滑状态的影响，提出一种能够综合反映压力及剪切速率对边界膜失效综合影响的边界膜强度模型，并基于润滑状态测试结果通过拟合获得模型参数；将该边界膜强度模型与流体动压润滑模型、粗糙表面接触模型耦合，建立考虑边界膜强度的混合润滑模型，并通过轴瓦摩擦实验机润滑测试结果对模拟结果进行验证。和现有典型混合润滑模型相比较，该混合润滑模型可以更准确地反映摩擦副的实际润滑状态以及摩擦因数变化规律。运用考虑边界膜强度的混合润滑模型分析轴瓦零件润滑状态转化特性和机制。结果表明：在存在边界润滑的混合润滑条件下，当加载力小于临界载荷，边界膜几乎未发生破裂，摩擦因数随载荷增加缓慢变大，其数值均较小；当加载力加至临界载荷，边界膜破裂，摩擦副微凸体接触区域出现干摩擦，摩擦因数出现突然增加，表明该摩擦副由边界润滑为主的混合润滑状态过渡到以干摩擦为主的润滑状态。

Hydrodynamic lubrication of porous journal bearings using a modified Brinkman-extended Darcy model

A numerical solution for the hydrodynamic lubrication of finite porous journal bearings considering the flexibility of the liner is introduced. The Brinkman-extended Darcy equations and the Stokes' equations are utilized to model the flow in the porous region and fluid film region, respectively. A stress jump boundary condition at the porous media/fluid film interface and effects of viscous shear are included into the lubrication analysis. Elrod's cavitation algorithm, which automatically predicts film rupture and reformation in the bearing, is implemented in the solution scheme. The present analysis predictions for pressure distributions, load carrying capacity, and friction factor are in good agreement with three different sets of experimental results available in the literature. Furthermore, the effects of dimensionless permeability parameter, and stress jump parameter on performance parameters such as load carrying capacity, side leakage, friction factor, and attitude angle, are presented and discussed.     

Possibility of slip in hydrodynamic oil films under sliding contact conditions

In hydrodynamic lubrication theory, the oil film thickness build‐up increases with increasing sliding speed or oil viscosity, and the viscous resistance or shear stress also increases, both without limit. The entraining force forming the oil film is given by the moving surfaces, or by the adhesive force of the oil molecules on the rubbing surfaces and the interaction force between them. Therefore, the maximum friction force and maximum oil film thickness will be limited by the operating conditions, such as oil properties, rubbing materials, sliding speed, and load. In this study, friction tests were conducted using a plate‐on‐cylinder sliding contact apparatus. It was found that a critical shear stress existed, above which the friction force and oil thickness decreased from theoretical values. Slip in an oil film seems to occur when the theoretical shear stress exceeds the critical value of the oil, according to test conditions. The occurrence of slip in an oil film is responsible for the reduction in the oil film and friction force from theoretical values, leading to the lower‐viscosity components of the oil selectively passing through the conjunction zone.     

Contact mechanics of metal-on-metal hip implants employing a metallic cup with a UHMWPE backing

The contact mechanics in metal-on-metal hip implants employing a cobalt chromium acetabular cup with an ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) backing were analysed in the present study using the finite element method. A general modelling methodology was developed to examine the effects of the interfacial boundary conditions between the UHMWPE backing and a titanium shell for cementless fixation, the coefficient of friction and the loading angle on the predicted contact pressure distribution at the articulating surfaces. It was found that the contact mechanics at the bearing surfaces were significantly affected by the UHMWPE backing. Consequently, a relatively constant pressure distribution was predicted within the contact conjunction, and the maximum contact pressure occurred towards the edge of the contact. On the other hand, the interfacial boundary condition between the UHMWPE backing and the titanium shell, the coefficient of friction and the loading angle were found to have a negligible effect on the contact mechanics at the bearing surfaces. Overall, the magnitude of the contact pressure was significantly reduced, compared with a similar cup without the UHMWPE backing. The importance of the UHMWPE backing on the tribological performance of metal-on-metal hip implants is discussed.     

A Molecular Dynamics Study of the Transition from Ultra-Thin Film Lubrication Toward Local Film Breakdown

The transition from ultra-thin lubrication to dry friction under high pressure and shear is studied using molecular dynamics: the quantity of lubricant in the confined film is progressively reduced toward solid-body contact. A quantized layer structure is observed for n-alkanes confined between smooth, wettable walls, featuring an alternation of well-layered, low friction configurations, and disordered ones, characterized by high friction, and heat generation. The molecular structure influences the ordering of the fluid and the resulting shear stress. In fact, Lennard-Jones fluids are characterized by low friction due to the absence of interlayer bridges, opposed to the always entangled states and high shear stresses for branched molecules. Surface geometry and wettability also affect the behavior of the confined lubricant. The presence of nanometer-scale roughness frustrates the ordering of the fluid molecules, leading to high friction states. Furthermore, local film breakdown can be observed when the asperities come into contact, with strong wall–wall interactions causing the maximum in shear stress. Finally, friction is limited to a small, constant value by the presence of smooth, non-wettable surfaces in the system due to the occurrence of wall slip.

Estimation of lubricant interlayer shear strength under conditions of imperfect boundary lubrication

This paper considers the use of contact electrical conductivity for investigations into molecular tribology. The shear strength of thin lubricant films has been studied at nominal point contact between two crossed cylindrical steel probes. The interface was simultaneously monitored using electrical contact resistance. It is shown that the binomial law of friction holds for the sliding path portions where electrical measurements point to a continuous lubricant film. The experimental data can be used to evaluate the molecular friction parameters. An algorithm and software with which to evaluate shear strength and its components under conditions of imperfect boundary lubrication have been formulated.
