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

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 …

Since the publication of the best-selling first edition, the growing price and environmental
cost of energy have increased the significance of tribology. Handbook of Lubrication and …

Recent tribology research has primarily focused on leveraging engineered grooved surfaces
to enhance the lubrication performance of tribo-contacts. The performance of fluid film …

This paper offers an extensive review of publications dealing with the modeling, the design,
and the experimental investigation of grooved dynamic gas-lubricated bearings. Recent …

This paper reports an explorations carried out on the performance parameters (minimum film
thickness, friction coefficient, and bearing dynamic coefficients) of a sector-shaped pad …

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 influence of surface texture in the form of the elliptical-shape dimples with various
depths, diameters, area ratios and different operation parameters on friction coefficient has …

Natural structures, especially those with outstanding tribological properties, are attracting
increasing attention in the fields of lubrication and friction. These structures have inspired …
