Understanding the influence of surface properties (roughness, grooves, discrete
textures/dimples) on the performance of hydrodynamically lubricated contacts has been the …

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 …

Inspired by the surface of shells in natural world, six bionic multi-scale composite surface
textures were designed. Numerical simulation was carried out to investigate the mechanism …

The numerical simulations were performed to investigate the lubrication performance on the
chevron textured surface under hydrodynamic lubrication. The geometric parameters of the …

It is well known that groove texture with a careful design can be used to enhance the load-
carrying capacity of oil film under the conditions of hydrodynamic lubrication. In this study, a …

This paper presents investigations related to the combined influences of viscous heat
dissipation and non-Newtonian rheology of lubricant on the performance parameters of …

New kite-shaped textures are designed in this paper to improve the lubrication performance
of tribological systems under hydrodynamic lubrication. Moreover, pressure distribution and …

There have been many reports on the use of dimples, grooves, and other surface textures to
control friction in sliding interfaces. The effectiveness of surface textures in friction reduction …

Research is being focused on to find the influence of surface variations such as texturing or
grooving on the bearing performances. Though, earlier it was restricted to the theoretical …

The numerical models for hexagonal textures of two orientations (θ= 0° and 90°) have been
established by using MATLAB and the corresponding specimens have been fabricated by …
