Although some authors work at times with large flat dies and evaluate friction under more realistic conditions than usual, pressure is not totally controlled. In any case, cohesive friction does not appear to have been well studied in literature, but pressure and sliding velocity may provide useful information about preventing the cohesive phenomenon in sheet stamping processes. In this work, the coefficient of friction (COF) for DC-05 electrogalvanized steel is experimentally evaluated under lubrication regime by flat face dies. These tests are also considered to reproduce friction conditions in the die-sheet-blankholder system at some stages of the deep drawing process. High pressure condition in a flat friction system can also be considered for studying the friction behavior in the die radius. This work investigates the influence of contact pressure and sliding velocity of the sheet on the COF value. Adhesion tendency during sliding is also evaluated. Sheets were lubricated with a prelube type mineral oil and different lubricant film thicknesses are present on the sheet as a result of the draining off time effect, an aspect that will be evaluated later. Although sliding velocity has almost no influence on the COF value, pressure has an influence that may be expressed by a potential mathematical function. The COF value tends to be constant for high enough pressure values. This behavior may be explained, in part, from the viewpoint of zinc acting as a typical soft metallic lubricant. Sliding velocity is the most important variable from the adhesion phenomenon point of view, which appears more frequently for low velocity values. The draining off time, which some research works consider fixes the initial lubrication conditions in friction tests, has no significant effect when a mineral oil, typically used as a prelube, is selected as a lubricant. The authors found that pressure is the most important variable for the COF value. Velocity is the determining factor for the adhesion phenomenon in friction processes under mixed lubrication.

The effect of inorganic fullerene-like (IF) WS2 nanoparticles added to mineral oil which has a potential to reduce engine friction was investigated using a reciprocating piston ring - cylinder bore bench test system. The test system simulates actual engine conditions controlling oil temperature, speed, and normal load. Frictional characteristics of various IF-WS2 nanoparticle concentrations in mineral oil were experimentally analyzed. After a certain period of running in mixed lubrication regime, a significant reduction in friction coefficient was observed when the IF-WS2 formulated oil was used. This reduction remains to some extent with the reference mineral oil even after solvent cleaning. The results show that a thin tribofilm gradually forms on the piston ring and the cylinder bore surfaces that reduce the coefficient of friction in mixed lubrication regime. The effects of lubrication regime, load, speed, temperature and surface roughness on tribofilm formation were also discussed.

Highly loaded ball and rolling element bearings are often required to operate in the mixed elastohydrodynamic lubrication regime in which surface asperity contact occurs simultaneously during the lubrication process. Predicting performance (i.e., pressure, temperature) of components operating in this regime is important as the high asperity contact pressures can significantly reduce the fatigue life of the interacting components. In this study, a deterministic mixed lubrication model was developed to determine the pressure and temperature of mixed lubricated circular and elliptic contacts for measured and simulated surfaces operating under pure rolling and rolling/sliding condition. In this model, we simultaneously solve for lubricant and asperity contact pressures. The model allows investigation of the condition and transition from boundary to full-film lubrication. The variation of contact area and load ratios is examined for various velocities and slide-to-roll ratios. The mixed lubricated model is also used to predict the transient flash temperatures occurring in contacts due to asperity contact interactions and friction. In order to significantly reduce the computational efforts associated with surface deformation and temperature calculation, the fast Fourier transform algorithm is implemented.

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.

AbstractThe classic sliding theories usually assume that the sliding motion occurs frictionlessly. However, basal ice is debris-laden and friction exists between the substratum and rock particles embedded in the basal ice. The influence of debris concentration on the sliding process is investigated. The actual conditions where certain types of friction apply are defined, the effect for the case of bed separation due to a subglacial water pressure is studied and consequences for the sliding law are formulated. The numerical modelling of the sliding of an ice mass over an undulating bed, including the effect of both the subglacial water pressure and the friction, is done by using the finite-clement method. Friction, seen as a reduction of the driving shear stress due to gravity, can be included in existing sliding laws which should contain the critical pressure as an important variable. An approximate functional relationship between the sliding velocity, the effective basal shear stress and the subglacial water pressure is given.
