The formation of adsorption layer of BSA aqueous solution under hydrodynamic lubrication conditions was studied using optical interferometry. The adsorption film was analysed and found consisting of two types of adsorption. A two-media approach was derived to determine the adsorption film thickness in real time.

The paper shows that a seal of the type referred to operates under hydrodynamic lubrication conditions with a liquid film thickness of obout 0·5 μm. Contact angles of oil against rubber and steel are measured, and it is also shown by experiments with capillaries how a meniscus may be turned inside out to resist pressure. The conclusion is that the liquid film is prevented from leaking by the surface tension of the liquid itself.

In this paper, an application of the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) method to real-time and in-situ measurements of changes in adsorption film thickness, e.g., fatty acid adsorbed films, is presented. As discussed in the previous study, the high sensitivity and overall simplicity of its optical system make the SPR method advantageous for monitoring lubricant film thickness. In order to demonstrate the high sensitivity of the SPR method, in-situ and real-time adsorption film growth processes of stearic acid (additives) in hexadecane (base oil) were monitored using the Otto configuration. Based on a comparison between experimental and model calculation results, changes in the adsorption film thickness during a series of different contact tests were measured.

In this paper the oil film separating the mating surfaces of involute spur gears operating under hydrodynamic lubrication conditions is analyzed. This analysis surpasses previous analyses in as much as the actual motion of the involute profiles (rolling, sliding, and squeezing motion) and the total number of teeth engaged at any one time are considered. Expressions are derived for the pressure distribution, shear stress, and power loss in the oil film at any phase of tooth engagement. A method is developed by which these expressions can be applied to determine the film thickness at any instant and the power loss for a given load, speed, and lubricant viscosity.

Recent researches have found that surfaces with non-glazed or laser dimpling topography offer improved lubricating efficiency and wear resistance under lubrication conditions over their conventional glazed status. It was carried out in this paper to simulate a pin-on-disk experimental condition and perform hydrodynamic lubrication (HL) calculations for both non-glazed and glazed surfaces under conditions of different sliding velocities and loads with a view of understanding the tribological mechanism and characteristics of non-glazed surfaces. The results showed that the minimum film thickness of non-glazed surfaces, which closed to a typical elasto-hydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) film thickness, was thicker than that of glazed surfaces under the condition of low sliding velocities and small loads. At the same time, a decreased maximum pressure of full-film of non-glazed surfaces demonstrated an even pressure distribution on them.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to investigate and discuss the effect of multi-shape laser surface texturing (LST) steel surfaces on tribological performance. Design/methodology/approach – The textured surface with some specific formula arrays was fabricated by laser ablation process by combining patterns of circles and triangles, circles and squares and circles and ellipses. The tribological test was performed by a flat-on-flat tribometer under dry and lubrication conditions, and results were compared with that of untextured surface. Findings – The results showed that the textured surface had better friction coefficient performance than the untextured surface due to hydrodynamic lubrication effect. Through an increase in sliding speed, the beneficial effect of LST performance was achieved under dry and lubrication conditions. Originality/value – This paper develops multi-shape LST steel surfaces for improving the friction and wear performance under dry and lubrication conditions.

ABSTRACTWe have studied a-Si:H prepared by alternating plasma deposition with atomic H treatments performed with a heated W filament. Real time spectroscopie ellipsometry provides the evolution of film thickness, optical gap, and a measure of the fraction of Si-Si bonds broken in the near-surface (200 Å) during H-exposure of single films. This information guided us to the desired parameters for the H-treatments. Here, we concentrate on a weak hydrogenation regime characterized by minimal etching, a higher H content by 2 at.%, and a larger optical gap by 0.02 eV for the growth/hydrogenation structures in comparison to continuously deposited control samples. This new material has shown an improvement in the defect density in the light-soaked state in comparison to the control samples. This may result from stabilization of the Si structure due to an increase in the H chemical potential in the a-Si:H.

The effects of artificially-produced dents and grooves on the elastohydrodynamic (EHD) film thickness profile in a sliding point contact are investigated by means of optical interferometry. The defects, formed on the surface of a highly polished ball, are held stationary at various locations within and in the vicinity of the contact region while the disk is rotating. It is shown that the defects, having a geometry similar to what can be expected in practice, can dramatically change the film thickness which exists when no defects are present in or near the contact. This change in film thickness is mainly a function of the position of the defects in the inlet region, the geometry of the defects, the orientation of the defects in the case of grooves, and the depth of the defect relative to the central film thickness.
