Abstract The authors propose an asymptotic and exact self-similar solution for zero (without considering the melt) and the first (considering the melt) approximation of a wedge-shaped sliding support with a profile adapted to friction and a fusible metal coating of the guide surface. The solution is based on the equation of a micropolar liquid flow for a “thin layer”, the continuity equation, as well as the equation describing the profile of the molten contour of a guide coated with a fusible metal alloy. The authors have taken into account the formula of the rate of mechanical energy dissipation as well as rheological properties of the lubricant and the melt, which have micropolar properties in the laminar flow mode at incomplete filling of the working gap. Analytical dependences have been obtained for the profile of the molten surface of the guide coated with a low-melting metal alloy, as well as for the velocity and pressure fields at zero and first approximation. In addition, the main operating characteristics of the friction pair under consideration have been determined: the bearing capacity and the friction force. The article contains estimation of the influence of the parameters conditioned by coating melt and adapted to the friction conditions of the support profile, and the parameter characterizing the rheological properties of the lubricant, as well as the length of the loaded area in terms of bearing capacity and friction force.

Abstract In the study, based on the micropolar fluid flow equation for a “thin layer”, the continuity equation, the equation describing the profile of the molten contour of the guide coated with a low-melting metal alloy, and the equation for the mechanical energy dissipation rate, asymptotic and exact self-similar solution has been found for the zero (without considering the melting) and first (considering the melting) approximation of wedge-shaped support with the slider support profile adapted to the friction conditions and the low-melting metal coating of the guide surface. The research has taken into account the pressure dependence of the lubricant rheological properties and the melt having micropolar properties in the laminar flow regime. Analytical dependencies have been obtained for the molten surface profile of the low-melting metal coating of the guide and the field of velocities and pressure for the zero and first approximations. Also, the basic performance characteristics of the friction pair under consideration have been determined: the bearing capacity and the friction force. The impact of parameters determined by the coating melt, adapted to the support profile friction conditions, and the parameter characterizing the pressure dependence of the lubricant viscosity on the bearing capacity and friction force has been estimated.

Abstract This paper outlines a new approach for finding an asymptotic and exact self-similar solution for the zero and first (without taking into account the melt and considering the melt, respectively) approximation of the wedge-shaped plain bearing with a non-standard support profile of the slide and the low-melting metal coating of the surface. The given approach is based on the flow equation of a ferromagnetic fluid for a «thin layer», the continuity equation, as well as the equation describing the profile of the guide’s molten contour. The proposed method takes into account the dependence of the rheological properties of the lubricant and the melt that have ferromagnetic properties in the laminar flow on pressure. We have succeeded in obtaining accurate analytical dependences for the field of velocities and pressure at zero and first approximations and the ones for the profile of the guide’s molten surface. Besides, we have managed to determine the key performance properties for the slide–guide friction pair, including load-bearing capacity and friction force. Finally, we could assess how the bearing capacity and friction force are influenced by parameters caused by the coating melt adapted to the conditions of the support profile friction and a parameter that characterize the rheological properties of the lubricant.

Abstract Based on the flow equation of a ferromagnetic liquid lubricant for a “thin layer”, the continuity equation and Darcy’s equation describing the flow of a lubricant in a porous body, an exact self-similar solution of wedge-shaped sliding support with a porous coating of the surface of the support ring is found, taking into account the dependence of the viscosity of the ferromagnetic lubricant and the permeability of the porous coating with the incomplete filling of the working gap. Analytical dependencies for the velocity and pressure fields in the lubricating and porous layer are obtained. Also, the main operating characteristics are determined load-bearing capacity and friction force. The numerical analysis of the theoretical results showed that the bearing capacity of the bearings can be increased by 8-12% in the range of the studied load-speed modes. At the same time, the coefficient of friction is reduced by 14-16%. To verify and confirm the effectiveness of the obtained theoretical models, an experimental study of a modified wedge-shaped sliding support on TP-22C, MS-20 oil and their mixture with various additives was carried out. As a result of theoretical and experimental studies, tribotechnical characteristics were determined that allow us to judge the presence of a long-term friction mode.

Phenomena occurring in the contact area between two mating bodies are characterised by high complexity and variability. Comparisons are usually made between parameters such as the coefficient of friction, friction force, wear and temperature in relation to time and friction path. Their correct measurement enables the proper evaluation of tribological properties of materials used in the friction pair. This paper concerns the measurements of basic tribological parameters in the friction of selected polymer composites. Knowing the tribological properties of these composite materials, it will be possible to create proper operating conditions for kinematic friction pairs. This study investigated the coefficients of friction, friction force and temperatures of six polymer composites: cast polyamide PA6 G with oil, PA6 G with MoS2, polyoxymethylene POM with aluminium, polyethylene terephthalate PET with polytetrafluoroethylene PTFE, PTFE with bronze, and PTFE with graphite. The friction surface was also examined using an optical system and computer software for 3D measurements. As a result, PA6-G with oil was found to be the best choice as a composite material for thin sliding coatings.

In this work, nanoemulsion-based delivery system was developed by encapsulation of fennel essential oil. A response surface methodology was used to study the influence of the processing conditions in order to obtain monomodal nanoemulsions of fennel essential oil using the microchannel homogenization technique. Results showed that it was possible to obtain nanoemulsions with very narrow monomodal distributions that were homogeneous over the whole observation period (three months) when the appropriate mechanical energy was supplied by microfluidization at 14 MPa and 12 passes. Once the optimal processing condition was established, nanoemulsions were formulated with advanced performance xanthan gum, which was used as both viscosity modifier and emulsion stabilizer. As a result, more desirable results with enhanced physical stability and rheological properties were obtained. From the study of mechanical spectra as a function of aging time, the stability of the nanoemulsions weak gels was confirmed. The mechanical spectra as a function of hydrocolloid concentration revealed that the rheological properties are marked by the biopolymer network and could be modulated depending on the amount of added gum. Therefore, this research supports the role of advanced performance xanthan gum as a stabilizer of microfluidized fennel oil-in-water nanoemulsions. In addition, the results of this research could be useful to design and formulate functional oil-in-water nanoemulsions with potential application in the food industry for the delivery of nutraceuticals and antimicrobials.

Mechanochemistry studies and explains the processes of chemical and physicochemical transformations that are generated by mechanical action on a substance. When carrying out deep mechanochemical transformations, as a rule, it is necessary to transfer to solid reagents a portion of energy comparable to the energy of interatomic bonds. For this, various machines and apparatus are used, such as extruders, in which mechanical energy is constantly transferred to the crushed material. The article discusses the interaction of two reagents in a simple chemical reaction in the state of a mixture of particles of two types, which occurs during compression of particles having a rough irregular shape, and colliding with each other, forming areas of contact. Significant stress concentrations and heating of the substance with the formation of a new phase arise in these regions. Thermal control of the mechanochemical reaction is to maintain an optimal balance of dissipative heat and heat from the coolant in the worm reactor so that the rate of flow and the final product of the reaction meet the specified specifications. The formulas provided in the article for calculating the coefficient of the rate of mechanochemical reaction, heat transfer between worm reactor and jacket channel, heat exchange between jacket and environment allows to calculate the balance conditions for thermal management. The block diagram of the technological line, which is presented in the article, is more economical in comparison with carrying out the same reaction in a solvent. The economic benefit lies in the elimination of the steps of introducing and removing the solvent from the reaction product. At the end, it is indicated that the mechanochemical reaction of the transformation of a mixture of two dispersed materials consisting of solid particles into a liquid can be realized in continuous conditions in a flow mode in a worm machine. And thermal control of the course of a mechanochemical reaction can be carried out using controlled heat exchange with a coolant in a jacket under conditions of turn-around spatial dispersion.

The internal friction Q−1 and the Young’s modulus E of NiTi based alloys have been measured as a function of temperature after various thermomechanical and hydrogen-doping treatments given to the materials. Hydrogen is found to play a major role introducing tall damping peaks associated with Snoek-type and H-twin boundary relaxations. Levels of Q−1 as high as 0.08 have been detected, which are among the highest to date measured in metal alloy systems. For appropriate alloy compositions, these peaks occur at around room temperature (for acoustical frequencies), thus providing a good opportunity to reduce machinery vibrations and noise pollution. In the paper, the conditions are highlighted under which maximum efficiency can be reached in the conversion of mechanical energy into heat.

Magnetic fluids are substances whose rheological properties can be actively influenced by treatment with a magnetic field. Two main types of magnetic fluids can be distinguished: ferromagnetic fluids, and magnetorheological fluids. Ferrofluids are mostly used in sealing engineering, whereas magnetorheological fluids are usually applied in controlled systems for the dissipation of mechanical energy, like brakes and dampers. The ability to control the rheological properties of magnetic fluids opens new horizons for development in machine design, among others in the areas of bearing engineering. The paper presents a comparative analysis of the rheological characteristics of selected magnetic fluids with a focus on the possible areas of the application of these substances in bearing engineering.

Taking into account the condition that dry friction may occur when Si3N4 and SiC are self-made into friction pair, experiments are carried out to contrast the friction and wear properties under the condition of dry friction. In this experiment SiC friction pair presents better friction and wear properties, whose ultimate bearing capacity is better than Si3N4.

Abstract The paper presents a study based upon: a Newtonian fluid flow equation (“thin layer”), a continuity equation, and an equation of the molten-profile radius for a shaft coated with a fusible metal alloy; considering a mechanical energy dissipation rate formula, the authors produced an asymptotic and accurate automodel solution for the zero approximation (melting ignored) and first approximation (adjusted for melting) of a radial plain bearing featuring a fusible metal coating and a bearing profile adapted to the specific friction parameters. The paper further presents analytical dependencies describing the molten surface radius, velocity and pressure fields for zero and first approximation. Besides, it determines the key operating parameters of the frictional couple, the bearing capacity, and the friction. It also shows how the parameters arising from the melting of the surface affect the bearing capacity and friction where the bearing surface profile is adapted to the specific conditions of friction.
