Abstract: The problem of a ball bearing in normal contact between two transversely isotropic coated substrates is investigated using the finite element method (FEM). A three-dimensional finite element model ...

Abstract: A brief review of finite element contact and friction theory is presented for low-speed bearing operations. A three-dimensional finite element model is developed to realistically characterize the ...

Abstract: Using a three-dimensional finite element model, the hysteresis friction behavior of coated ball bearings is investigated. Ninety-six distinct operating conditions were examined by the finite element ...

Abstract: The friction behavior of MoS2 coated bearing surfaces operating under ultra-low-speeds with velocity reversal is investigated. Forty-two sets of exclusively ultra-low-speed operating conditions were ...

Abstract: The friction behavior of Si3 N4 ceramic balls operating under ultra-low-speeds with velocity reversal is investigated. Twenty-one sets of exclusively ultra-low-speed operating conditions were examined ...

Abstract: A pin-on-disk tribometer was used to investigate the influence of several parameters on the sliding friction coefficient between hard and deformable surfaces. Pin (1045 tool steel) and disk ...

Abstract: The frictional resistance generated by a ball bearing, when starting from rest, increases to a free rolling value in a finite amount of time instead of experiencing an instantaneous step ...

Abstract: There are many applications where determining the response of a slowly oscillating ball bearing becomes crucial. Many instrument pointing mechanisms, in particular those used for aerospace ...
