Calculations of the impact of friction and wear on energy consumption, economic
expenditure, and CO 2 emissions are presented on a global scale. This impact study covers …

Understanding the influence of surface properties (roughness, grooves, discrete
textures/dimples) on the performance of hydrodynamically lubricated contacts has been the …

Interactions between fluid flow and elastic structures are important in many naturally
occurring and engineered systems. This review collects and organizes recent theoretical …

Surface texturing has been frequently used for tribological purposes in the last three
decades due to its great potential to reduce friction and wear. Although biological systems …

Understanding the characteristics of material contact and lubrication at tribological interfaces
is of great importance to engineering researchers and machine designers. Traditionally …

The present study aims at numerically predicting the frictional performance of journal
bearings with single-and multi-scale surface patterns considering the real 3D surface …

The Stribeck curve is an important means to demonstrate the frictional behavior of a
lubricated interface during the entire transition from boundary and mixed to full-film …

A new model for cylindrical roller bearings, capable of deterministically handling lubrication
and misalignment situations, is developed by coupling a quasi-static model and a finite line …

Mixed lubrication is a mode of fluid lubrication in which both hydrodynamic lubricant film and
rough surface asperity contact coexist. Mixed lubrication problems are usually associated …

Concentrated (or counterformal) contacts are found in many mechanical components that
transmit significant power. Traditionally, concentrated contacts can be roughly categorized to …
