Transitional behaviour between biphasic lubrication and soft elastohydrodynamic lubrication of poly(vinyl alcohol) hydrogel using microelectromechanical system pressure sensor

open access: yesBiosurface and Biotribology, 2018
The soft hydrogel material is expected for a candidate material as biomimetic artificial cartilage with synergistic functionalities of adaptive multimode lubrication.

Tribology of enzymatically degraded cartilage mimicking early osteoarthritis

open access: yesFriction, 2023
Healthy cartilage is a water-filled super lubricious tissue. Collagen type II provides it structural stability, and proteoglycans absorb water to keep the cartilage in a swollen condition, providing it the ability to creep and provide weeping lubrication.

Trimethylolpropane trioleate as eco-friendly lubricant additive

open access: yesEngineering Science and Technology, an International Journal, 2022
Approximately 17.9% of fuel energy is used to overcome engine friction in passenger cars with engine frictional losses further broken down into losses along hydrodynamic (40%), elastohydrodynamic – due to pure sliding motion (40%), mixed (10%) and ...

Rough Surface Contact Modelling—A Review

open access: yesLubricants, 2022
It has been shown experimentally that boundary friction is proportional to load (commonly known as Amontons’ law) for more than 500 years, and the fact that it holds true over many scales (from microns to kilometres, and from nano-Newtons to Mega-Newtons)

Boundary conditions for free surface inlet and outlet\ud problems [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
We investigate and compare the boundary conditions that are to be applied to free surface problems involving inlet and outlets of Newtonian fluid, typically found in coating processes.

Boundary lubrication:  Dynamics of squeeze-out [PDF]

open access: yesPhysical Review E, 2001
The dynamics of the expulsion of the last liquid monolayer of molecules confined between two surfaces (measured recently for the first time) has been analyzed by solving the two-dimensional Navier-Stokes equation combined with kinetic Monte Carlo simulations. Instabilities in the boundary line of the expelled film were observed.

A coupled finite-volume CFD solver for two-dimensional elasto-hydrodynamic lubrication problems with particular application to rolling element bearings [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
This paper describes a new computational fluid dynamics methodology for modelling elastohydrodynamic contacts. A finite-volume technique is implemented in the ‘OpenFOAM’ package to solve the Navier-Stokes equations and resolve all gradients in a ...

Boundary slip and lubrication mechanisms of organic friction modifiers with effect of surface moisture

open access: yesFriction
Surface moisture or humidity impacting the lubrication property is a ubiquitous phenomenon in tribological systems, which is demonstrated by a combination of molecular dynamics (MD) simulation and experiment for the organic friction modifier (OFM ...

Boundary Lubrication Characteristic of Metal-Containing Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) Films with Poly Alpha Olefin (PAO) Lubricant

open access: yesTribology Online, 2008
The effects of metals such as cobalt (Co), cerium (Ce), magnesium (Mg), nickel (Ni) and titanium (Ti) added to diamond-like carbon (DLC) films on boundary lubrication properties were investigated using a ball-on disk tribometer.
