A mathematical programming solution based on finite element method is used to analyze wall slip of viscoplastic lubrication in a metal-rolling inlet zone. Slip velocity can be directly obtained by parametric quadratic programming without an iterative process between the oil film pressure and the slip velocity. It is found that wall slip causes the oil film thickness to decrease dramatically. The initial limiting shear strength and proportional constant of the viscoplastic lubricant have a larger effect on the oil film pressure than the rolling speed. The nonsensitivity of oil film thickness to the rolling speed is a great particular advantage to metal-rolling processing.

The effect of single-sided and double-sided harmonic surface waviness on the film thickness, pressure, and temperature oscillations in an elastohydrodynamically lubricated eccentric-tappet pair has been investigated in relation to the eccentricity and the waviness wavelength. The results show that, during one working cycle, the waviness causes significant fluctuations of the oil film, pressure, and temperature, as well as a reduction in minimum film thickness. Smaller wavelength causes more dramatic variations in oil film. The fluctuations of the pressure, film thickness, temperature, and traction coefficient caused by double-sided waviness are nearly the same compared with the single-sided waviness, but the variations are less intense.

An analysis for operating characteristics of journal bearing lubrication system is performed based on the numerical model. Dynamic bearing lubrication characteristics such as oil film pressure and thickness distribution can be analyzed through a numerical model with an integration of elastohydrodynamics and multi-flexible-body dynamics (MFBD). In particular, the oil film thickness variation by elastic deformation is considered in the elastohydrodynamic analysis by applying the bending stiffness effect of journal. And the oil film thickness variation by the bending stiffness effect is applied to the fluid governing equations to calculate the oil film pressure in the elastohydrodynamic lubrication region. A series of process proposed in this study is available for the analysis of realistic elastohydrodynamic lubrication phenomenon. Also, a numerical example for the journal bearing lubrication system is demonstrated and compared with the experimental results. The numerical results considering the bending stiffness effect show a good agreement with the experimental results.

Purpose The current trend of modern industry is to use machineries which rotate at high speed along with the capability of carrying heavy rotor loads. This paper aims at static thermal analysis of two different profiles of non-circular journal bearings – a true elliptical bearing and orthogonal bearing. Design/methodology/approach The Reynolds equation has been solved through finite difference method to compute the oil film pressure. Parabolic temperature profile approximation technique has been used to solve the energy equation and thus used for computation of various bearing performance characteristics such as thermo-hydrodynamic oil film pressure, temperature, load capacity, Sommerfeld number and power loss characteristics across the bearing. The effect of ellipticity ratio on the bearing performance characteristics has also been obtained for both the elliptical and vertical offset bearing using three different commercially available grades of oil (Hydrol 32, 68 and 100). Findings It has been observed that the thermo-hydrodynamic pressure and temperature rise of the oil film is less in orthogonal bearing as compared to the true elliptical bearing for same operating conditions. The effect of ellipticity ratio of non-circularity on bearing performance parameters have been observed to be less in case of elliptical bearing as compared to orthogonal bearing. It has been concluded that though the rise in oil film temperature is high for true elliptical bearing, but still it should be preferred over orthogonal profile under study, as it has comparably good load-carrying capacity. Originality/value The performance parametric analysis will help the designers to select such kind of non-circular journal bearing for various applications.

In this work, we propose a robust modeling and analysis technique of the piston-lubrication system considering fluid–structure interaction. The proposed schemes are based on combining the elastohydrodynamic analysis and multi-flexible body dynamics. In particular, multi-flexible body dynamics analysis can offer highly precise numerical results regarding nonlinear deformation of the piston skirt and cylinder bore, which can lead to more accurate results of film thickness for gaps filled with lubricant and of relative velocity of facing surfaces between the piston skirt and the cylinder block. These dynamic analysis results are also used in the elastohydrodynamic analysis to compute the oil film pressure and asperity contact pressure that are used as external forces to evaluate the dynamic motions of the flexible bodies. A series of processes are repeated to accurately predict the lubrication characteristics such as the clearance and oil film pressure. In addition, the Craig–Bampton modal reduction, which is a standard type of component mode synthesis, is employed to accelerate the computational speed. The performance of the proposed modeling schemes implemented in the RecurDyn™ multi-flexible body dynamics environment is demonstrated using a well-established numerical example, and the proposed simulation methods are also verified with the experimental results in a motor cycle engine (gasoline) which has a four cycle, single cylinder, overhead camshaft (OHC), air cooled.

In order to study the influence of torque load on the lubrication and wear of the sliding bearing of the rigid rotor system, the theoretical and experimental researches on the single-span rotor system with low speed were carried out. A special force sensor was used to measure the bearing load under different torque excitations, and the oil film pressure was calculated. The oil film pressure and thickness of sliding bearing under low speed (210r/min) were simulated by combining the lubrication theory. Based on the film thickness ratio theory, the corresponding relationship between the lubrication state and the torque load value was deduced. In addition, the wear rate and abrasive grain morphology of sliding bearing with different torque values were analyzed by means of oil sample preparation to verify this correspondence. The results show that the film thickness ratio has a logarithmic function relationship with the constant torque load, and the film thickness ratio curve can be used to determine the corresponding torque values under different lubrication states. The wear rate under mixed lubrication state increases exponentially with the torque load, and the main wear mechanism is adhesive wear and abrasive wear. The research results have certain guiding significance to the adjustment of the actual running condition of sliding bearing and its life prediction.
