Impact of oleoyl glycine on biodegradability and lubricity of lubricating oil

Boshui Chen, Weijiu Huang, Jianhua Fang

The purpose of this paper is to understand the impacts of oleoyl glycine on biodegradation, friction and wear performances of a mineral lubricating oil.

Research of laminar liquid flow in asymmetric narrow channels

Weifeng Wu, Jian Li, Ting Li, Quanke Feng, Xiaoling Yu

The purpose of this paper is to find a solution of laminar liquid flow in asymmetric narrow channels. In many cases, an intuitive solution is much more useful and necessary for…

Non‐destructive subsurface damage monitoring in bearings failure mode using fractal dimension analysis

Walter Holweger, Frank Walther, Jörg Loos, Marcus Wolf, Jürgen Schreiber, Werner Dreher, Norbert Kern, Steffen Lutz

Bearings in field applications with high dynamic loading, e.g. wind energy plants, suffer from sudden failure initiated by subsurface material transformation, known as white…

Experimental study and prediction using ANN on mass loss of hybrid composites

C. Velmurugan, R. Subramanian, S. Thirugnanam, B. Anandavel

The purpose of this paper is to produce Al6061 metal matrix composites reinforced with silicon carbide (SiC) and graphite particulates and study their wear behavior and also to…

A new design of smart journal bearing based on GMM actuators

H.Y. Lau, K.P. Liu, P.L. Wong, Wen Wang

The purpose of this paper is to carry out a proof‐of‐concept experiment on positioning control of a smart journal bearing using giant magnetostrictive material (GMM)‐based…

Investigation of friction and wear behavior of hybrid aluminium composites

C. Velmurugan, R. Subramanian, S. Thirugnanam, B. Anandavel

The purpose of this technical paper is to investigate the friction and wear behaviour of heat treated Al 6061 alloy and Al 6061 SiC‐graphite particulate reinforced hybrid…

Tribological properties of nylon 1010 composites filled with zinc oxide whisker in rolling friction with traction

Wang Shi‐bo

The purpose of this paper is to improve the tribological properties of Polyamide 1010 (PA 1010) in rolling friction with traction.

Performance of a noncircular 2‐lobe multirecess hydrostatic journal bearing with wear

Satish C. Sharma, Vikas M. Phalle, S.C. Jain

Noncircular journal bearings are used in industry because of their simplicity, efficiency and low cost. During the life time of a machine, these are required to be operated over a…
