Abstract: A simple method based on free-volume theory to predict the pressure-viscosity coefficients of liquid lubricants has been developed. The method only requires the viscosity-temperature relationship ...

Abstract: This study involves the development of correlating equations for the prediction of the bulk moduli of mineral oil-based lubricants, polymer containing lubricants, and several classes of synthetic ...

Abstract: Recent studies have shown that solid films formed from vapor-delivered lubricants can provide effective lubrication for load-bearing systems at elevated temperatures. A model is developed to ...

Abstract: A high-shear capillary viscometer was used to determine the viscosity of mineral oil lubricants containing an olefin copolymer up to shear rates of a million reciprocal seconds. Comprehensive ...

Abstract: The objective of this work has been to study the origin of surface failures in UHMWPE tibial bearings of total knee replacements. Earlier examination of hundreds of retrieved prostheses, along ...
