Lubricants, Volume 13, Issue 4

With the development of steel sheets towards higher strength and lower thickness, the process of rolling is facing more challenges, and one of the most important issues is lubrication, which directly determines the rolling stability, product quality,...

The groove parameters on the friction base of wet clutches significantly affect the temperature distribution of the steel plates. However, existing methods have not thoroughly investigated the mechanisms by which these parameters influence the thermo...

This study investigates the potential of Spirulina biomass as a lubricating additive for drilling fluid formulations. In this work, this waste protein is evaluated as a lubricant alternative that may decrease the coefficient of friction while improvi...

The aim of this article is to simulate the distribution of oil or lubricants on the surface by the characterization of the R and S roughness parameters. It is considered that undesirable particles may appear in the oil due to friction, the wear of pa...

The slip mechanism between the chunk and wafer during high-speed dynamic scanning of the extreme ultraviolet lithography (EUV) motion stage remains unclear. Considering real-machined roughness, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were performed to in...

With the growing imperative for advanced prognostics and health management (PHM) systems, remaining useful life (RUL) prediction through lubricating oil monitoring has become pivotal for intelligent preventive maintenance. However, existing methodolo...

The aim of the research was to determine the impact of antifriction coatings on the technical condition of marine diesel engine bearings. Various epilams were used as antifriction coatings, with a thin layer applied to the surfaces of the bearings of...

The bogie gearbox bearing is one of the critical components in the running gear of trains, and its dynamic characteristics significantly influence the safety and stability of the entire system. In addition to internal excitations within the gearbox,...

The gear transmission system occupies a core position in mechanical equipment due to its numerous advantages such as high efficiency, high reliability, and long durability, making it an indispensable key component. Investigating the distribution mech...

Revolute and prismatic pair clearances are common in various mechanisms, and their motion state seriously affects the accuracy of the mechanism. Adding lubricant to a kinematic pair can effectively counteract the adverse influence of a collision forc...
