Abstract: During the relative motion of surfaces, which are in partial contact, asperities on them interact with one another. A pair of contacting asperities has been modeled as a rigid body contacting ...

Abstract: An infrared technique has been used to determine the effects of load, speed and surface roughness on temperature in a sliding EHD point contact. Ball surface temperatures are reported for ...

Abstract: Infrared temperature measurements, ferrographic analysis, and surface profilimetry were used to monitor asperity interactions in a sliding EHD point contact. The contact temperature and surface ...

Abstract: An improved technique for the measurement of temperature distributions in an EHD conjunction is presented. The technique reported here employs the infrared radiation emitted by the EHD conjunction ...
