Abstract: Thermohydrodynamic Design Charts are developed for slider bearings that enable one to rapidly determine a conservative estimate for the bearing maximum temperature and a pertinent mean temperature ...

Abstract: A detailed analysis of the flow characteristics and lubrication effectiveness of grease in journal bearings is presented. Based on the ideal Bingham plastic model, the appropriate governing ...

Abstract: Applications involving highly loaded elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL), particularly when the lubricant experiences shear thinning, operating with small film thicknesses may necessitate consideration ...

Abstract: A comprehensive model is developed for analyzing the onset of thermoelastic instability in a wet clutch. For this purpose, appropriate governing equations are derived that take into account the ...

Abstract: This paper is devoted to a study of the enduring contact between granules of powder lubricants in an effort to better understand the flow characteristics of powder lubricants. Appropriate ...

Abstract: Misalignment affects nearly all the bearing performance parameters including the cavitation, thermal field, leakage flow-rate, and moments. The present paper provides a comprehensive analysis of ...

Abstract: A model is developed to investigate the mechanism of thermoelastic instability (TEI) in tribological components. The model consists of two thermally conducting bodies of finite thickness undergoing ...

Abstract: A thermoelastic instability (TEI) analysis is presented for determining the threshold of instability in a friction pair consisting of a conducting surface rubbing against a rough surface with ...

Abstract: Thermoelastic instability (TEI) is known to be directly related to the occurrence of hot spots in friction systems, such as brakes, seals, and clutches. TEI is a failure process where the ...

Abstract: A comprehensive formulation of the governing equations, boundary conditions, and numerical solution technique is presented for modeling the thermal aspects of the engagement process in a wet ...
