Abstract: A model is developed to predict the behavior of two sliding bodies undergoing oscillatory motion. A set of four dimensionless groups is introduced to characterize the transient dimensionless ...

Abstract: An idealized model consisting of a surface with high thermal conductivity separated by a film of liquid lubricant from a rough surface with low thermal conductivity is developed to study ...

Abstract: Recently Khonsari et al. 1 analyzed the scuffing failure of hydrodynamic bearings caused by an abrasive contaminant. Modeled as a spherically shaped rigid particle, the contaminant was envisioned ...
