Evaluation of boundary lubricants using steady-state wear and friction [PDF]
A friction and wear study was made at 20 C to establish operating limits and procedures for obtaining improved reproducibility and reliability in boundary lubrication testing. Ester base and C-other base fluids were used to lubricate a pure iron rider in

Analysis of Chaotic Features in Dry Gas Seal Friction State Using Acoustic Emission
In this study, a chaos theory-based characterization method is proposed to address the nonlinear behavior of acoustic emission (AE) signals during the startup and shutdown phases of dry gas seals. AE signals were collected through a controlled experiment
