The Stribeck curve is obtained by plotting the coefficient of friction (COF) as a function of the Stribeck parameter – ηV/F z, where V is the sliding velocity, η is the viscosity of the lubricant, and ...

Lubrication processes exhibit boundary, mixed (elastohydrodynamic) and fluid film (hydrodynamic and hydrostatic) regimes. The surface asperities carry the load instead of the lubricant in the boundary ...

Theoretical and practical techniques will cover contact mechanics, friction, wear and lubricant films in hydrodynamic and elasto-hydrodynamic lubrication regimes. Students will learn to evaluate ...

Organic friction modifier additives are surfactant molecules added to engine oils to reduce friction in the boundary lubrication regime. The friction between two metals can also be affected by the ...

Theoretical and practical techniques will cover contact mechanics, friction, wear and lubricant films in hydrodynamic and elasto-hydrodynamic lubrication regimes. Students will learn to evaluate ...

Without correct lubrication, both in terms of the product and the regime, valuable assets such as production equipment risks failure and associated downtime. This means production has to shut down, ...

TIS is most common in hydrodynamic bearings, especially those that operate in the boundary or mixed-lubrication regimes. But it can also happen to fully lubricated bearings. Equipment that sits ...
