This study explores the effects of non-Newtonian lubricants on elastohydrodynamic lubrication with coating at impact and rebound loading using power law lubricants. The coupled transient modified Reynolds, rheology, elasticity deformation, and ball motion equations are solved simultaneously, thus obtaining the transient pressure profiles, film shapes, normal squeeze velocities and accelerations. The effect of the flow index ( n) is equivalent to enhancing the lubricant viscosity, also enlarging the damper effect. The simulation results reveal that the film thickness, the primary peak, and the secondary peak increase with increasing the flow index. The greater the flow index is, the earlier the dimple form, and the smaller the maximum value of the impact force is. The rebounding velocity and the peak value of acceleration increase with decreasing the flow index. Moreover, this research possesses academic innovation and industrial application.

The pure squeeze magneto-elastohydrodynamic lubrication (MEHL) motion of circular contacts with an electrically conducting fluid in the presence of a transverse magnetic field is explored under constant load condition. The differences between classical elastohydrodynamic lubrication and MEHL are discussed. The results reveal that the effect of an externally applied magnetic field is equivalent to enhancing effective lubricant viscosity. Therefore, as the Hartmann number increases, the enhancing effect becomes more obvious. Furthermore, the transient pressure profiles, film shapes, normal squeeze velocities, and effective viscosity during the pure squeeze process under various operating conditions are discussed.

Over the past decades the science of friction has got great development. Processes of friction and wear significantly depend on constructive junction design, selection of wear resistant materials and effective lubricants for them, as well as the conditions of the machinery operation. Currently, a large number of scientific works [7-11, 16-20] are devoted to the review of the contact interaction conditions with the use a lubricant. The method of elastohydrodynamic lubrication is of particular interest when studying different kinds of lubrication. According to the elastohydrodynamic lubrication theory, contact conditions of two elastic bodies are characterized by high pressures which cause the elastic deformation of solids and by the dependence of a lubricant viscosity from the pressure. When using the elastohydrodynamic lubrication the layer profile, the sum amount of elastic deformations, elastic deformations and the lubricant viscosity dependence from pressure are given by set equations [12-15]. The impact of elastohydrodynamic lubrication method on the surface layer of the contacting parts is of great interest.

This paper presents the effects of transient rough surface air-soft elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) of rollers for soft material. The time independent modified Reynolds equation, and elasticity equation were solved numerically using finite different method, Newton-Raphson method and multigrid multilevel method to obtain the film pressure profiles and film thickness in the contact region. The effects of overload, surface roughness and time period are examined. The simulation results show surface roughness has effect on film thickness. The impact of sudden load condition is that the air film pressure increases but film thickness decreases. The minimum film thickness decreases when the amplitude of surface roughness increases. Increasing of impact from sudden loads resulted in minimal film thickness decrease.

AbstractDepicting the temporal and spatial evolution pattern of global world cultural heritage systematically and finely is the basis of heritage recognition and protection. In this study, 869 world cultural heritage inscriptions (through 2019) were selected as the research objects, and the times and types of each World Heritage site were manually annotated from more than 5000 pieces of data. Through time series modelling, the advantages of and changes in heritage declarations in different regions and periods were analysed, and the impact of heritage strategy on the number of heritage sites included in each region was evaluated. The results showed that the implementation of heritage policy greatly impacted each region, especially on the number of heritage sites in Asia and the Pacific region. Using the heritage era to carry out modelling analysis, from the perspective of the integrity of historical heritage cultural types, it is considered that there may be cultural heritage sites in the Caribbean and Latin America that have not been given enough attention. The modelling analysis results of era attributes can support the fairness of heritage determination. By calculating the frequency and peak value of heritage sites at the national scale, the frequency and peak value of each country in the top 10 list are used to characterize the ability of national declarations of cultural heritage and reveal the differences in the ability of each member country to declare heritage sites and the heritage era. By calculating the distribution density of the heritage era, this study finds that the world’s cultural heritage is not concentrated in the Middle Ages (600–1450) but the periods of Reformation and Exploration (1450–1700) and Progress and Empire (1850–1914). The above analysis shows that there are imbalances and strategic adjustment effects concerning regions, countries, eras and types in World Heritage list development. The composition types of heritage are complex, and the combination types have obvious changes in different periods. It is suggested that the strategy of world cultural heritage collection should be further optimized to fully guarantee the balance of regions, countries and types, and the heritage value should be fully considered in heritage protection with more diversity and complexity of types.

Investigations related to polymer/metal composites are often limited to the analysis of the electrical and thermal conductivity of the materials. The presented study aims to analyze the impact of aluminum (Al) filler content (from 1 to 20 wt%) on the rarely investigated properties of composites based on the high-density polyethylene (HDPE) matrix. The crystalline structure, rheological (melt flow index and oscillatory rheometry), thermal (differential scanning calorimetry), as well as static (tensile tests, hardness, rebound resilience) and dynamic (dynamical mechanical analysis) mechanical properties of composites were investigated. The incorporation of 1 and 2 wt% of aluminum filler resulted in small enhancements of mechanical properties, while loadings of 5 and 10 wt% provided materials with a similar performance to neat HDPE. Such results were supported by the lack of disturbances in the rheological behavior of composites. The presented results indicate that a significant content of aluminum filler may be introduced into the HDPE matrix without additional pre-treatment and does not cause the deterioration of composites’ performance, which should be considered beneficial when engineering PE/metal composites.

AbstractMechanochemical reactions can be induced in a solution by the collision of balls to produce high-temperature and high-pressure zones, with the reactions occurring through a dissolution–precipitation mechanism due to a change in solubility. However, only a fraction of the impact energy contributes to the mechanochemical reactions, while the rest is mainly consumed by the wear of balls and the heat generation. To clarify whether the normal or tangential component of collisions makes a larger contribution on the reaction, herein we studied the effect of collision direction on a wet mechanochemical reaction through combined analysis of the experimental reaction rates and simulated ball motion. Collisions of balls in the normal direction were found to contribute strongly to the wet mechanochemical reaction. These results could be used to improve the synthesis efficiency, predict the reaction, and lower the wear in the wet mechanochemical reactions.

Experimental evidence shows that the presence of an ambient liquid can greatly modify the collision process between two solid surfaces. Interactions between the solid surfaces and the surrounding liquid result in energy dissipation at the particle level, which leads to solid–liquid mixture rheology deviating from dry granular flow behaviour. The present work investigates how the surrounding liquid modifies the impact and rebound of solid spheres. Existing collision models use elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) theory to address the surface deformation under the developing lubrication pressure, thereby coupling the motion of the liquid and solid. With EHL theory, idealized smooth particles are made to rebound from a lubrication film. Modified EHL models, however, allow particles to rebound from mutual contacts of surface asperities, assuming negligible liquid effects. In this work, a new contact mechanism, ‘mixed contact’, is formulated, which considers the interplay between the asperities and the interstitial liquid as part of a hybrid rebound scheme. A recovery factor is further proposed to characterize the additional energy loss due to asperity–liquid interactions. The resulting collision model is evaluated through comparisons with experimental data, exhibiting a better performance than the existing models. In addition to the three non-dimensional numbers that result from the EHL analysis—the wet coefficient of restitution, the particle Stokes number and the elasticity parameter—a fourth parameter is introduced to correlate particle impact momentum to the EHL deformation impulse. This generalized collision model covers a wide range of impact conditions and could be employed in numerical codes to simulate the bulk motion of solid particles with non-negligible liquid effects.

In this research, switchgrass (SG) fiber-reinforced poly(trimethylene terephthalate) (PTT) biocomposites were prepared by extrusion followed by injection molding machine. The methylene-diphenyl-diisocyanate-polybutadiene (MDIPB) prepolymer was used to enhance the impact strength of the biocomposites. In addition, the polymeric methylene-diphenyl-diisocyanate (PMDI) compatibilizer was used to enhance the mechanical properties of the composites. The effect of compatibilizer on mechanical, crystallization melting, thermomechanical, melt flow index (MFI), morphological, and thermal stability properties of the composites was studied. Thermomechanical properties of the biocomposites were studied by dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA). Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to observe the interfacial adhesion between the fiber and matrix. The results showed that MDIPB and PMDI have a significant effect on the mechanical properties of the composites. The impact strength of MDIPB- and PMDI-compatibilized composites was increased by 87 % when compared to the uncompatibilized composite.
