Abstract: A thermodynamics model was built to simulate and analyze the Stribeck curve of a lubrication system, focusing on the competition between the hydrodynamic effect of the lubricant and the lubricant–substrate interaction ...

Abstract: Abstract. Contact temperature plays a crucial role in friction and wear behavior. In this study, a multiscale model is developed to directly calculate the contact temperature distribution in line contacts under boundary ...

Abstract: A stochastic model for predicting the evolutions of wear profile and surface height probability density function (PDF) of initial line contacts during running-in under mixed lubrication condition is presented. A numerical ...

Abstract: A numerical method for modifying cylindrical roller profile was proposed to smooth axial pressure distributions of finite line contacts under the mixed lubrication regime. The mixed lubrication model, in which the Reynolds ...
