Lubricants, Volume 8, Issue 8

Modeling tribological contacts is commonly based on the Reynolds equation. This study discusses the validity of conventional, averaged Reynolds simulations for systems including starvation regimes. Two fundamental assumptions that are used as common...

The present study aims to analyze the influence of the geometric profile of the compression ring on the tribological properties of the lubricant. Additionally, the influence of the rotation speed and the engine load on the state of the lubricant is e...

This paper presents a brief review of elastohydrodynamic analysis in commemoration of the immense contributions of Duncan Dowson. This paper also presents an elastohydrodynamic analysis of the elliptical point contact problem under steady state as we...

Economic and societal changes and technological development guide the focus of tribology research. “Classical” tasks, such as the improvement of materials or the tuning of a lubricant, have long been replaced by a function-oriented aggreg...

The Terra satellite has been operating in orbit for 20 years. The Terra satellite is also called the flagship earth-observing satellite. The two Clouds and the Earth’s Radiant Energy System CERES instruments on board continue to function nomina...

Plastics are widely used owing to their light weight, easy production, and low cost. Even though plastics find application in different fields of industries and households, they do not degrade easily. If plastics are not disposed of appropriately, it...
