Abstract: A symposium was recently held at the National Science Foundation in which a small group of internationally recognized tribologists from academia, federal laboratories, and private industry was ...

Abstract: Experimental results on friction coefficients obtained with a number of model additives in a four ball test apparatus have confirmed a recently proposed model of boundary lubrication. The values ...

Abstract: Interactions between chemical compounds added to cutting fluids and the workpiece surface in the cutting zone can have pronounced effects on the material removal process during abrasive machining. ...

Abstract: Friction and wear experiments were conducted on high purity alpha-alumina sliding against a similar material in air under different contact loads and at temperatures ranging from 23°C to ...

Abstract: The present paper, which consists of two parts, proposes models of fluid flow in grinding with nonporous wheels. In this first part, a smooth wheel is employed instead of a rough grinding ...

Abstract: The objective of this study is to model fluid flow in grinding with nonporous wheels. While Part I focused on the flow in a simplified smooth geometry, in this part the wheel surface roughness ...
