Mathematical expressions are developed for calculating maximum tensile stress at a friction surface in relation to friction coefficient, coating thickness, contact width, and elastic moduli of coating and substrate. The finite element method is used and the maximum tensile stress is obtained for a v...

A tribological life test apparatus is described and illustrated. It is used to study a high fraction fluid-based grease that has consistently shown very low life performance. The grease contains a lithium complex soap, a phenolic antioxidant, and a high viscosity polydiene base oil. The procedure is...

Elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) is reviewed for rolling and sliding contacts. Applications in roller and ball bearings, gears, cams and cam-followers, and traction drives are described and illustrated. Advantages and disadvantages of EHL are discussed and the mechanism involved in the protectio...

A ball-on-rod test machine is described and illustrated. This is used to evaluate the rolling contact fatigue (RCF) of steels for bearing applications. Data on test conditions and material properties are tabulated. Tests are carried out at two contact stress levels. Results show that lowering the co...
