Analytical and Experimental Investigation of Laser-Textured Mechanical Seal Faces

I. Etsion, Y. Kligerman, G. Halperin · 1 Jan 1999

Abstract An analytical model is developed to predict the relation between the opening force and operating conditions in a mechanical seal with laser textured microsurface structure in the form of micropores. The model is valid for any desired shape of the micropores. An optimization is performed for spherical shape micropores evenly distributed on one of…

A Laser Surface Textured Parallel Thrust Bearing

Victor Brizmer, Y. Kligerman, I. Etsion · 1 Jan 2003

The potential use of a new technology of laser surface texturing (LST) in parallel thrust bearings is theoretically investigated. The surface texture has the form of micro-dimples with pre-selected diameter, depth, and area density. It can be applied to only a portion of the bearing area (partial LST) or the full bearing area (full LST).…

Friction-Reducing Surface-Texturing in Reciprocating Automotive Components

Aviram Ronen, I. Etsion, Y. Kligerman · 1 Jan 2001

Abstract A model is presented to study the potential use of micro-surface structure in the form of micro pores to improve tribological properties of reciprocating automotive components. The Reynolds equation and the equation of motion are solved simultaneously for a simplified "piston/cylinder" system with surface texturing. The solution provides the time behavior of both the…

The Measurement and Study of Very Thin Lubricant Films in Concentrated Contacts

G. J. Johnston, R. Wayte, H. A. Spikes · 1 Jan 1991

Optical interferometry is now a widely used technique for measuring the separating film thickness in model rolling and sliding elastohydrodynamic contacts. There are two limitations of the method as conventionally employed: first, it cannot easily be used to accurately measure films less than one quarter the wavelength of visible light, i.e. less than about 100…

A Finite Element Based Elastic-Plastic Model for the Contact of Rough Surfaces

Lior Kogut, I. Etsion · 1 Jan 2003

An elastic-plastic model for contacting rough surfaces that is based on accurate Finite Element Analysis (FEA) of an elastic-plastic single asperity contact is presented. The plasticity index π is shown to be the main dimensionless parameter that affects the contact of rough surfaces. Below π = 0.6 the contact problem is purely elastic and above…

Tribology Transactions template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Tribology Transactions format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Tribology Transactions template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official Taylor & Francis format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Tribology Transactions use?
Tribology Transactions uses Author–year (Chicago, T&F) references, shown as author–year markers such as (Smith, 2023) in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: Smith, Ada, Ben Jones, and Cara Lee. 2023. "A Representative Article Title." Tribology Transactions 12 (3): 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Tribology Transactions?
No. DocuGuru generates the interact LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a Taylor & Francis-ready Tribology Transactions document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Tribology Transactions template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Tribology Transactions format with correct headings, figures, tables, and author–year citations.
Who publishes Tribology Transactions?
Tribology Transactions is a multidisciplinary journal published by Taylor & Francis. DocuGuru's Tribology Transactions template matches Taylor & Francis's official submission format.
Can I export a submission-ready Tribology Transactions PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Tribology Transactions template (the interact class) that is ready to submit to Taylor & Francis, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Tribology Transactions template cost?
You can start writing in the Tribology Transactions template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready Tribology Transactions PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
