Effect Of Surface

A theoretical study of a submerged oil journal bearing is made considering surface roughness and thermal effects. The total load-supporting ability under such condition is due to the thermohydrodynamic as well as the asperity contact pressure. The effect of surface roughness and viscosity-temperature dependency on hydrodynamic pressure has been found by solving the average Reynolds equation, energy equation and heat conduction equations simultaneously. The cavitation model of Jacobsson-Floberg has been modified to take the surface roughness effects into consideration. A parametric study of steady-state behavior has been carried out. Finally, the isothermal, thermohydrodynamic, and contact loads for a model bearing have been calculated, assuming the surface height distribution as Gaussian.

Effect Of Surface

A numerical solution of an elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) contact between two long, rough surface cylinders is obtained. A theoretical solution of pressure distribution, elastohydrodynamic load, and film thickness for given speeds and for lubricants with pressure-dependent viscosity, material properties of cylinders, and surface roughness parameters is made by simultaneous solution of an elasticity equation and the Reynolds equation for two partially lubricated rough surfaces. The pressure due to asperity contact is calculated by assuming a Gaussian distribution of surface irregularities. The elastic deformation is found from hydrodynamic and contact pressures by using plane strain analysis. The effect of surface roughness on EHL loads, speeds, and central film thicknesses is studied. The results indicate that for a constant central film thickness (1) increasing the surface roughness decreases the EHL load and (2) there is little variation in minimum film thickness as the surface roughness is increased.

Effect Of Surface

The effect of surface roughness on shear stresses below the surface of an unlubricated Hertzian contact is analyzed using a three dimensional stress freezing photoelastic technique. The shear stresses in the micro-Hertzian contact in each asperity are shown to combine and form, at a greater depth below the surface, shear stresses generally associated with contact stress theory. These macro-Hertzian stresses are compared with the micro-Hertzian stresses in the asperities. The results are also correlated with an existing asperity contact theory and are discussed in relation to the contact fatigue phenomenon.

Effect Of Surface

A model is developed for predicting the performance of spur gears with provision for surface roughness. For each point along the line of action, the contact of pinion and gear is replaced by that of two cylinders. The radii of cylinders, transmitted load, and contact stress are calculated, and lubricant film thickness is obtained using the load-sharing concept of Johnson et al. (1972, “A Simple Theory of Asperity Contact in Elastohydrodynamic Lubrication,” Wear, 19, pp. 91–108) To validate the analysis, the predicted film thickness and the friction coefficient are compared to published theoretical and experimental data. The model is capable of predicting the performance of gears with non-Newtonian lubricants—such as that of shear thinning lubricants—often used in gears. For this purpose, a correction factor for shear thinning film thickness introduced by Bair (2005, “Shear Thinning Correction for Rolling/Sliding Electrohydrodynamic Film Thickness,” Proc. Inst. Mech. Eng., Part J: J. Eng. Tribol., 219, pp. 1–6) has been employed. The results of a series of simulations presenting the effect of surface roughness on the friction coefficient are presented and discussed. The results help to establish the lubrication regime along the line of action of spur gears.

Effect Of Surface

The real area of contact, average gap, and mean asperity contact pressure are important variables for understanding friction, wear, and lubrication in contacting systems. They are known as “performance variables.” Contact simulations were conducted for a wide range of surface topographies and an extensive amount of information was generated. Using this information, the performance variables were curve fitted and convenient mathematical relationships were formulated. The surfaces used in the simulations were numerically generated and they varied widely in statistical roughness properties, ranging from isotropic to strongly anisotropic. The effect of surface roughness on the performance variables were studied using three parameters—composite Root Mean Square roughness (σ), autocorrelation length (λx*), and asperity aspect ratio (γ).

Effect Of Surface

Surface sealants are reported to ensure surface smoothness and improve the surface quality of composite restorations. These sealants should also reduce the bacterial adhesion on composite surfaces however, there is not much information regarding their performance on bulk-fill composite materials. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of surface sealant application on surface roughness and bacterial adhesion of various restorative materials. Disc-shaped samples were prepared from a compomer, a conventional composite and three bulk-fill composites. Specimens of each group were divided into two groups (n = 9): with/without surface sealant (Biscover LV, [BLV]). Surface roughness values were examined by profilometry and two samples of each group were examined for bacterial adhesion on a confocal laser scanning microscope (CLSM). Bacterial counts were calculated by both broth cultivation and microscopic images. Results were analyzed with one-way ANOVA and Bonferroni/Dunn tests. Following the BLV application, there was a decrease in the surface roughness values of all groups however, only Tetric N-Ceram Bulk and Beautifil-Bulk groups showed significantly smoother surfaces (p < 0.001). There were no significant differences among material groups without BLV application. Evaluating bacterial adhesion after BLV application, conventional composite had the lowest values among all followed by the compomer group. Beautifil-Bulk had significantly the highest bacterial adhesion (p < 0.05), followed by Tetric N-Ceram Bulk group. Without BLV application, there was no significant difference among bacterial adhesion values of groups (p > 0.05). CLSM images showed cell viability in groups. Bulk-fill composites showed higher bacterial adhesion than conventional composite and compomer materials. The surface sealant was found to be highly effective in lowering bacterial adhesion, but not so superior in smoothing the surfaces of restorative materials. So, surface sealants could be used on the restorations of patients with high caries risk.
