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…

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).…
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…
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…
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…
