Mixed Lubrication Regime

In the mixed lubrication regime, where surface roughness may exceed the elastohydrodynamic film thickness, sliding micro-ehl films appear to collapse during their passage through the contact. A possible explanation for this can be found if the film is treated as a plastic solid. In this work, the collapse velocity is found by simultaneously solving the plastic extrusion equations and the elastic pressure equations for the film trapped between approaching asperities. The velocity of collapse is shown to be very sensitive to the asperity wavelength, slide-roll ratio, and the velocity profile between the sliding asperities.

A two-dimensional friction model has been developed for cold metal rolling in the “mixed” lubrication regime. Roughness is modelled using superimposed short and long wavelength asperities with a lay orientated along the rolling direction. The hydrodynamic pressure in the lubricant is solved using Reynolds’ equation, coupled with the crushing process of the two-wavelength roughness. This allows for the solution of film thickness and contact area ratio and hence friction coefficient through the roll-bite. The model extends the authors’ earlier model [15] by allowing for a variation in hydrodynamic pressure across the width of the contact. Predictions for both the surface roughness and the friction coefficient are in reasonable agreement with published measurements.

Purpose This paper aims to propose an optimal design of the partial textures in the mixed lubrication regime of the crankpin bearing (CB) to maximize the CB's lubrication efficiency. Design/methodology/approach Based on a hybrid model between the slider-crank-mechanism dynamic and CB lubrication, the square-cylindrical textures (SCT) of partial textures designed on the CB’s mixed lubrication regime are researched. The effect of the density distributions of partial textures on CB’s lubrication efficiency is then evaluated via two indices of increasing the oil film pressure (p) and decreasing the frictional force (Ff) of the CB. The SCT’s geometrical dimensions are then optimized by the genetic algorithm to further improve the CB’s lubrication efficiency. Findings The results show that the SCT of partial textures optimized by the genetic algorithm has an obvious effect on enhancing CB’s lubrication efficiency. Especially, with the CB using the optimal SCT of partial textures (4 × 6), the maximum p is significantly increased by 3.7% and 8.2%, concurrently, the maximum Ff is evidently reduced by 9.5% and 21.6% in comparison with the SCT of partial textures (4 × 6) without optimization and the SCT of full textures (12 × 6) designed throughout the CB’s bearing surface, respectively. Originality/value The application of the optimal SCT of partial textures on the bearing surface not only is simple for the design-manufacturing process and maximizes CB’s lubrication efficiency but also can reduce the machining time, save cost and ensure the durability of the bearing compared to use the full textures designed throughout the CB’s bearing surface.
