In this work, we consider several types of lubricants—including non-Newtonian fluids—that were studied in EHD pure rolling point contacts under various operating conditions, leading us to explore a wide range of dimensionless parameters. The experimental results are compared with predictions given by the usual analytical EHL relationships and by more recently developed models. This broad comparison conducted with particular emphasis on minimum film thickness (hm) showed a fair agreement between experimental data and a few predictions including some obtained from extended models. Commonly used elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) models did not systematically give accurate hm estimation, whereas minimum film thickness not only is a yield value but also serves as a key parameter in estimating lubrication regimes. 相似文献

A theoretical solution to the elastohydrodynamic (EHD) lubrication problem in sliding contacts, which takes into consideration the effect of the change in shape of the gap due to wear on the load‐carrying capacity, is presented. The model of such a contact is based on assumptions of Grubin and Ertel (von Mohrenstein). The resultant dimensionless Reynolds and film profile equations have been solved numerically for a number of cases with several values of thickness of the worn layer. Iteration of the EHD film thickness is performed by means of the secant method. Values of the calculated dimensionless film thickness are presented as a function of dimensionless wear. The conclusions concern the influence of the linear wear on the film thickness in heavily loaded sliding contacts. Copyright © 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

The effect of different slide-to-roll ratios has been experimentally investigated under steady state and transient conditions using a steel ball in contact with the plane surface of a glass disc. Under transient conditions the entraining velocity has been varied with a sinusoidal law at two different frequencies. Measurements of the friction force and film thickness using optical interferometry have been made.For the same working conditions, different friction coefficient trends found for positive and negative slide-to-roll ratios can be related to different film thickness values and shapes. The combination of different thermal effects could be a possible explanation for the obtained results. 相似文献

The influence of the parameters relating to the rolling elements on traction in EHD contacts is experimentally studied on a two-roller machine, in which experiments with point contacts are conducted for two paraffinic mineral oils, a synthetic naphthene, and a synthetic ester. Firstly, it is shown that the same traction curves are obtained in both internal and external contacts when the effective radius in rolling direction of the rollers is equal. The effect of an increase in the size of the rollers is to increase the film thickness and this results in a gentle decline in the maximum traction coefficient. As the effective radius in transverse direction is increased, so the traction decreases for a paraffinic mineral oil, while that for a synthetic naphthene remains constant independent of the geometry of the rollers. Finally, the effect of the material of the rollers is studied, employing rollers made of steel, ceramics, phosphorus bronze, brass, and aluminium alloy. The traction obtained under an identical normal load can be arranged according to the effective elastic modulus of the rollers for each oil. However, under identical contact pressure the same maximum traction curve is obtained independent of the material, but the decline in traction in the thermal region is slightly steeper with the ceramic than with the steel rollers because of the difference in the temperature rise of the fluid film. 相似文献

The frictional behaviour of thin metallic films on silicon substrates sliding against 52100 steel balls is presented. The motivation of this work is to identify an optimum film thickness that will result in low friction under relatively low loads for various metallic films. Dry sliding friction experiments on silicon substrates with soft metallic coatings (silver, copper, tin and zinc) of various thickness (1–2000 nm) were conducted using a reciprocating pin-on-flat type apparatus under a controlled environment. A thermal vapour deposition technique was used to produce pure and smooth coatings. The morphology of the films was examined using an atomic force microscope, a non-contact optical profilometer and a scanning electron microscope. Following the sliding tests, the sliding tracks were examined by various surface characterization techniques and tools. The results indicate that the frictional characteristics of silicon are improved by coating the surface with a thin metallic film, and furthermore, an optimum film thickness can be identified for silver, copper and zinc coatings. In most cases ploughing marks could be found on the film which suggests that plastic deformation of the film is the dominant mode by which frictional energy dissipation occurred. Based on this observation, the frictional behaviour of thin metallic coatings under low loads is discussed and friction coefficients are correlated with an energy based friction model. 相似文献

The effect of shot peening on rolling contact fatigue (RCF) and lubricant film thickness within non-conformal rolling/sliding contacts operated under mixed lubrication conditions was observed in this study. Rolling contact fatigue tests and film thickness measurements were carried out using specimens with modified surface topography by shot peening process using glass beads having diameter between 0.07 and 0.11 mm. It has been shown that the effect of shot peening on RCF has no positive effect even if shot peened surface of the roller exhibited somewhat higher hardness in contrast to the grounded surface. The reduction of RCF may be caused due to asperities interactions because after shot peening the surface roughness of the roller was increased. Film thickness measurements confirmed that the contact is realized actually only between asperity peaks of shot peened ball and smooth disc.Conversely, no negative effect on RCF was observed when the shot peened surface of the roller was polished. The polish of asperity peaks causes the creation of lands and micro-cavities, which may be employed as lubricant micro-reservoirs. From film thickness measurements it has been observed that lubricant emitted by shallow micro-cavities can provide the local increase in lubrication film thickness, which thereby reduces asperities interactions. Similar results were obtained for start-up conditions where the squeeze lubricant enlarges film thickness and reduces surface interactions.From the obtained results, it can be suggested that properly designed surface topography modification could help to increase the efficiency of lubrication films leading to the enhancement of contact fatigue life of non-conformal mixed lubricated rolling/sliding contacts. 相似文献

The influence of the sprayed layer thickness on rolling contact fatigue of a thermally sprayed alumina ceramics with a nominal composition of Al2O3–2.3 mass% TiO2 was investigated using a two-roller test machine under pure rolling contact condition with oil lubricant. The influence of undercoating of sprayed nickel-based alloy on rolling contact fatigue was also investigated. Thicknesses of the ceramics-sprayed layer of tested rollers were 0.2, 0.5 and 1.0 mm. The failure mode of sprayed rollers was spalling caused by subsurface cracking. In the case of sprayed rollers without undercoating, rolling contact fatigue strength of rollers with 0.2 mm thickness sprayed layer was the smallest. Rolling contact fatigue strength of sprayed roller with 0.2 mm thickness sprayed layer was improved by undercoating. In case the failure depth was small as compared with the thickness of sprayed layer, effect of undercoating on the rolling contact fatigue strength was little. The depths where the maximum values of subsurface shear stresses occurred, almost corresponded to the observed depth of spalling cracks. 相似文献

Gears are one of the most common mechanisms for transmitting power and motion and their usage can be found in numerous applications. Studies on gear teeth contacts have been considered as one of the most complicated applications in tribology. Depending on the application, the speed and load conditions of teeth may change triggering several types of failures on teeth surface such as wear, scuffing, micro-pitting and pitting. The above-mentioned faults influence changes in vibration and acoustic signals, due to changes in operating conditions such as increase in temperature and decrease in lubricant film thickness and specific film thickness. These abnormal changes result in cumulative effects on localised or distributed faults on load bearing surfaces of gears. Such damages cause reduction in tooth stiffness and severity of damage can be assessed by evaluating the same using vibration-based signals.This paper presents the results of experimental investigations carried out to assess wear in spur gears of back-to-back gearbox under accelerated test conditions. The studies considered the estimation of operating conditions such as film thickness and their effects on the fault growth on teeth surface. Modal testing experiments have been carried out on the same gear starting from healthy to worn out conditions to quantify wear damage. The results provide a good understanding of dependent roles of gearbox operating conditions and vibration parameters as measures for effective assessment of wear in spur gears. 相似文献
