Surface texturing and solid lubricants have demonstrated the ability to substantially reduce
friction and wear under dry conditions. In recent decades, these two technologies have been …

Abstract Around 1,000 peer-reviewed papers were selected from 3,450 articles published
during 2020–2021, and reviewed as the representative advances in tribology research …

Despite numerous experimental and theoretical studies reported in the literature, surface
micro-texturing to control friction and wear in lubricated tribo-contacts is still in the trial-and …

Textured surface is of fundamental and practical importance in numerous emerging
applications due to its beneficial effects on the tribological performance. In this work, a …

In order to maximize the load-carrying capacity (LCC) of the textured surfaces, the level set
method is introduced to conduct the shape optimization of surface textures under the …

The recast layer is usually formed during laser texturing of GCr15 bearing steel. The recoil
pressure (caused by material vaporization) and Marangoni heat flow cause the molten …

Abstract Reaction-diffusion equation (RDE)-based topology optimization is introduced to
obtain optimal hydrodynamic grooves of liquid lubricating mechanical face seals with the …

This study describes the effect of textured patterns on the lubrication performance in starved
hydrodynamic lubrication. A friction test rig including an in-situ observation system is used …

In this study, two asymmetric texturing forms are proposed and a numerical optimization with
a genetic algorithm is conducted for the asymmetric surface texturing to improve lubricant …

The finite difference method with the single-/multi-objective particle swarm optimization
(PSO) are used to obtain and improve the thermoelastic behaviors of a rotating nonuniform …
