Lubricant Viscosity

This paper presents the application of an improved Yasutomi correlation for lubricant viscosity at high pressure in a Newtonian elastohydrodynamic line contact simulation. According to recent experimental studies using high pressure viscometers, the Yasutomi pressure-viscosity relationship derived from the free-volume model closely represents the real lubricant piezoviscous behavior for the high pressure typically encountered in elastohydrodynamic applications. However, the original Yasutomi correlation suffers from the appearance of a zero in the function describing the pressure dependence of the relative free volume thermal expansivity. In order to overcome this drawback, a new formulation of the Yasutomi relation was recently developed by Bair et al. This new function removes these concerns and provides improved precision without the need for an equation of state. Numerical simulations have been performed using the improved Yasutomi model to predict the lubricant pressure-viscosity, the pressure distribution, and the film thickness behavior in a Newtonian EHL simulation of a squalane-lubricated line contact. This work also shows that this model yields a higher viscosity at the low-pressure area, which results in a larger central film thickness compared with the previous piezoviscous relations.

Lubricant Viscosity

The thermohydrodynamic performance of the bearing is analyzed, taking into account the three-dimensional variation of lubricant viscosity and density. The effect of pivot position and operating and environmental conditions on the performance is studied. The present analysis is compared with the isoviscous or the two-dimensional analysis, and is found to predict the bearing performance more accurately.

Hydrostatic extrusion of annealed 1100 aluminum was investigated experimentally at ambient temperature. The principal variables studied were lubricant viscosity which was varied from less than 100 to over 76,000 SUS at 100 deg F and the diametral clearance between the follower block and the extrusion cylinder which ranged from 0.0005 to 0.0030 in. for the 1.026 in. dia. cylinder. The specimen diameter was 0.97 or 1.00 in. corresponding to an extrusion ratio of 4.75 or 5.00, respectively. The included die angle was either 60 deg or 90 deg. The results show that with a proper combination of the lubricant viscosity and the follower block clearance, hydrostatic extrusion can be accomplished without the necessity of any sealing of the container on the follower block side. The optimum clearance for minimum breakthrough pressure increases as the lubricant viscosity increases. The extrusion force increases with die angle. The paper discusses the various factors that affect the magnitude of the breakthrough pressure and the occasional uneven bamboo-type appearance of the surface. Processing conditions must be selected carefully since the lowest extrusion force does not necessarily lead to a product with the best surface finish.

Slip Motion

The phenomenon of ‘stick-slip’ oscillations of the feed drives of machine tools is an important problem in the design of certain types of machine tools. The factors contributing to this particular type of instability are studied both experimentally and analytically with the aid of a simple model based on dynamic measurements. The experimental work is restricted to a scraped cast iron-cup ground cast iron slideway interface. The principal experimental variables are lubricant viscosity and the natural frequency of the drive. The dynamic observations provide evidence and data that enable the use of a simple model rather than the more usual application of an involved analysis. The consideration of analytical and experimental results allows further understanding of the mechanism of feed drive instability to be developed.

Lubricant Viscosity

This study investigates the vibration signature of roller bearings, induced by the surface irregularities of components, under various lubricating conditions. The bearing vibration is modelled as the output of the bearing assembly which is subjected to the excitations of surface irregularities through the oil-film. The oil-film acts as a spring between the roller and race. The stiffness of oil-film under different lubricating conditions is studied from the empirical equation of minimum oil-film thickness. It is shown that the vibration spectra of a normal roller bearing may have a pattern of equal frequency spacing distribution (EFSD) whose frequency information is similar to that of a damaged bearing. Under large loading and low running speed, the vibration energy is low if the lubricant viscosity is high. On the other hand, at high running speed, the vibration energy is high with high lubricant viscosity.
