Industrial Lubrication and Tribology: Volume 53 Issue 2

Fundamentals of dry friction and some practical examples

R. Holinski

Dry sliding of different components over each other results in changes of interfaces. During the running‐in procedure a surface accommodation takes place. There is transfer of…

Magneto‐hydrodynamic squeeze film characteristics between annular disks

Jaw‐Ren Lin

The effect of a transverse magnetic field on the squeeze film behaviors between two parallel annular disks lubricated within an electrically conducting fluid is studied. The…

Microstructure and tribological behavior of polymeric nanocomposites

Min Zhi Rong, Ming Qiu Zhang, Hong Liu, Hanmin Zeng, Bernd Wetzel, Klaus Friedrich

Nanocomposites represent a new prospective branch in the huge field of polymer materials science and technology. It has been shown that an overall enhancement of properties of…

Attempts on elementary mechanisms in machinery element damage

Walter Holweger

Metal surfaces in machinery element test runs as well as in practical use seem to undergo a complex reaction scenery on the damage route. These processes were induced even at low…
