Thermal Elastohydrodynamic Lubrication of an Optimized Cam–Tappet Pair in Smooth Contact
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A highorder polynomial gas distribution cam mechanism is investigated theoretically from the viewpoint of thermal elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL). First, a cam with a larger base circle radius is employed, which results ...
Rapid Failure of Lubricated Contacts With Grease Under Zero Entraining Velocity Condition
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In response to the rapid failure of grease lubrication under low surface speed with zero entraining velocity, a common occurrence in ball screws or cageless rolling element bearings, detailed observations were conducted ...
Influence of Surface Waviness on the Thermal Elastohydrodynamic Lubrication of an Eccentric Tappet Pair
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The effect of singlesided and doublesided harmonic surface waviness on the film thickness, pressure, and temperature oscillations in an elastohydrodynamically lubricated eccentrictappet pair has been investigated in relation ...
Point Contact Elastohydrodynamic Lubrication and Wear in Intermittent Motion
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Intermittent motion is a complex process that involves constant speed, deceleration, static stages, and acceleration. Theoretical analysis suggests that shortening the period of intermittent motion can increase the film ...
