Apart from complex numerical models to predict the tribological behavior of elastohydrodynamically lubricated contacts, non-dimensional similarity groups and analytically solvable proximity equations can be used to estimate ...

Despite numerous experimental and theoretical studies reported in the literature, surface micro-texturing to control friction and wear in lubricated tribo-contacts is still in the trial-and-error phase. The tribological ...

The present study aims at numerically predicting the frictional performance of journal bearings with single- and multi-scale surface patterns considering the real 3D surface topographies after wearing-in in mixed-elastoh ...

Non-dimensional similarity groups and analytically solvable proximity equations can be used to estimate integral fluid film parameters of elastohydrodynamically lubricated (EHL) contacts. In this contribution, we demonstrate ...

The tibial component of current knee prostheses made of Ultra Hig Molecular Weigth Polyethylene (UHMWPE) has a high degree of wear that causes knee inflammation, prosthesis loosening and and subsequent replacement in no ...

Tibial component of knee prostheses, made of ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE), experiences a high degree of wear and may be expected to last twelve years on average. In this work, a steady state one-dimensional ...

Micro-textures applied on rubbing surfaces have gained tremendous attention in the tribological community. Numerous studies deal with the deduction and testing of beneficial micro-textures. Nevertheless, not all questions ...
