Abstract: The mechanisms that generate adhesion forces in liquid lubricants are studied under various experimental conditions. These forces occur between two surfaces when they are detached in the normal ...

Abstract: Due to the increasing price of fuel, demands for fuel economy of heavy-duty trucks become severer year by year, and many efforts, such as reduction of air drag of vehicle, optimization of ...

Abstract: Based on a new boundary lubrication model, the characteristics of lubricants under boundary lubrication at low sliding speed and low contact pressure such as in machine tool slideways are ...

Abstract: The complex surface topography of a scraped surface is studied quantitatively. The scraped surfaces are composed of the surface elements which are formed by each scraping operation, distribute ...

Abstract: The relation between static friction characteristics and surface topography of contacting scraped surfaces are theoretically examined under boundary lubrication. As a result, it is clarified that ...

Abstract: The clarification of the squeezing mechanism of lubricant, which flows between rough surfaces, is quite important for the improvement of the dynamic characteristics of sliding elements, and for ...
