Abstract: The major oil supply for the ball-on-disc contact is provided by the lubricating oil reservoir and the oil ridges; however, the regularity of their changes has not been thoroughly investigated. In this study, the laser-induced ...

Abstract: Finitelength line contact conditions, existing in applications such as gears or roller bearings, lead to subsurface stress distribution influenced by the free boundaries. This paper presents a semianalytical method (SAM) ...

Abstract: A numerical analysis on the factors affecting the hydrodynamic performance for parallel surfaces with microtextures is presented in this paper. The semianalytical method and fast Fourier transform technique are implemented ...

Abstract: Oil–air lubrication is widely used in the highspeed rotary machines; the oil is usually in the form of discrete droplets. The lubrication behavior of the oil droplet is rarely investigated. This paper investigates the ...

Abstract: Elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) analysis in finite line contacts is usually modeled by a finite-length roller contacting with a half-space, which ignores effect of the two free boundaries existing in many applications ...

Abstract: Most of the rolling bearings work under starvation conditions. The quantitative measurement of the oil layer may provide a new perspective on the rolling bearing lubrication. In this research, the laser-induced fluorescence ...

Abstract: Remote sensing techniques enable estimation of regional evapotranspiration (AE) over large areas instead of point calculation and it also saves resources otherwise invested in monitoring instruments. The aim of this paper ...
