Lubrication in helical gears

In this paper, a method to determine elastohydrodynamic film thickness in helical gears is developed by combining the Dowson-Higginson elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) formulation with helical gear geometry and kinematics. Comparisons are made with traditional gear film thickness models. This analysis is then used to characterise the film thickness and lambda ratio in an automotive planetary gearset. Methods to measure surface roughness in fine-pitch gears are described.

Traction of Lubricated Rolling Contacts between Thin-Film Coatings and Steel

Tribological thin-film coatings can enhance the performance of mechanical components such as bearings and gears. Although a lubricant is present in most applications, the interactions of the lubricant with the coated surfaces are not always well understood. In the present study, Stribeck curves (i.e., traction coefficient vs. dimensionless film thickness λ) were generated for lubricated rolling contact between coated and uncoated surfaces. Chromium nitride, tungsten carbide–reinforced amorphous hydrocarbon, and silicon-incorporated diamond-like carbon coatings were evaluated. Compositions, hydrogen concentrations, Raman spectra, and surface energies are reported for the films. A ball-on-flat test configuration was used in 5%, 50%, and 100% slide-to-roll conditions. The test lubricant was a polyalphaolefin containing rust and oxidation inhibitor additives only. Differences in traction performance were observed for different coating types. Traction coefficients decreased at high λ with increased hydrocarbon content in the coating. Coating micro-texture and composition were believed to influence traction as λ became small.     

Effects of Loading Process and Contact Shape on Point Impact Elastohydrodynamics

The squeeze effect is an important subject in studies of elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL). By impact loading, the oil between point contact surfaces is entrapped at the central region or the peripheral region depending on the initial conditions. The effects of the loading process, surface roughness, and ellipticity ratio of contacts on the film thickness and pressure distributions are not fully understood yet. In the current study, those effects are elucidated through numerical analyses by specified initial impact gaps, which produce the central or the peripheral oil entrapments. The loading process, which can produce rather low pressure, has been proposed. Moreover, conditions, under which a microdimple is produced in the central circular bump are clarified.     

A Mixed Flow Model for Lubrication with Emulsions

An oil-in-water emulsion in the inlet zone of a concentrated contact is modeled by treating the oil particles as flattened cylinders surrounded by water. In an independent flow model, the oil and water flows are coupled only through the pressure gradient. However, the model leads to anomalous behavior with regard to the flow of water. To overcome this problem, corrections to the pressure gradients due to interactions between the oil and water were derived. Both models showed that the emulsion became concentrated because the higher viscosity oil was preferentially drawn into the conjunction. The net effect was similar to an inlet starved of oil. The inlet film thickness predicted by the interactive theory was in good agreement with Dow's experimental measurements for an EHL contact.     

Effect of surface roughness on elastohydrodynamic traction: Part 1

The effect of surface roughness on traction performance was experimentally studied using a two‐roller tester. The nature of the contact was investigated using electrical resistance and electrical capacitance methods. Increased shear stress was observed in the viscous region, which could be attributed to a higher average shear rate and to greater viscosity under EHD contact conditions due to pressure fluctuations caused by the surface texture.

A numerical study of fatigue life in non-Newtonian thermal EHL rolling–sliding contacts with spinning

This paper presents a study on fatigue life in non-Newtonian thermal elastohydrodynamic lubrication (TEHL) point contacts with spinning. A numerical procedure is developed and extended to rolling contact fatigue (RCF) life. The results show that the effect of entraining velocity on the RCF life is closely related to ellipticity. The RCF life first decreases steeply and then gradually with increase in slide–roll ratio. However, the RCF life may increase slightly at a large slide–roll ratio. Spinning is beneficial for reduction of longitudinal friction coefficient; however, even for smooth surface contact, the RCF life can be slightly reduced by spinning.
