Laser surface texturing is an advanced technology to reducing the friction between two
contact surfaces in relative motion. Experiments both underwater and in the air were …

Knowing friction coefficient is important for the determination of wear loss conditions at
journal bearings. Tribological events that influence wear and its variations effect …

The oil-film pressure is a key factor used to examine the performance of a journal bearing.
The developed nano lubricant was used as an alternate lubricant for journal bearing system …

The present investigation was carried out to predict the oil-film pressure of a chemically
modified rapeseed oil (CMRO) containing nano CuO/WS2/TiO2 using Response Surface …

In this paper, the novel bearing tester was developed by new method using a wire tension to
obtain the coefficient of friction (COF) of micro bearings. Because the conventional bearing …

Shaft position and friction torque as a function of radial loading and rotational speed are
important parameters in the theory of lubrication. However, to date values for small bearings …

Oil-film friction response is one of the key parameters that describe the operating conditions
in hydrodynamic lubrication regimes. In the present paper, response surface methodology …

A method is proposed for evaluating the dynamical friction of linear bearings, whose motion
is not perfectly linear due to some play in its internal mechanism. In this method, the moving …

The frictional characteristics of a small linear ball bearing were accurately measured by
means of a modification of the levitation mass method (LMM). In this method, the moving part …
