Calculations of the impact of friction and wear on energy consumption, economic
expenditure, and CO 2 emissions are presented on a global scale. This impact study covers …

Elastohydrodynamic Lubrication (EHL) is commonly known as a mode of fluid-film
lubrication in which the mechanism of hydrodynamic film formation is enhanced by surface …

Cost, environmental, and performance issues coupled with legislative changes, new engine
oil requirements, and technology development for exploration of space and the oceans are …

The amphiphilic properties that result from the fatty acid composition of vegetable oils
contribute to a better lubricity and effectiveness as anti-wear compounds than mineral or …

The mechanism of the transition from elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) to thin film
lubrication (TFL) has been studied with a technique of relative optical interference intensity …

Tribofilm formation by several zinc dialkyl-and diaryldithiophosphate (ZDDP) solutions in
thin film rolling-sliding conditions has been investigated. A primary, a secondary alkyl and a …

In the past there has been considerable interest in the possibility of using liquid lubricants
containing dispersed, solid particles in the 1–50 micron size range to reduce friction and …

Ultrasound is reflected from a liquid layer between two solid bodies. This reflection depends
on the ultrasonic frequency, the acoustic properties of the liquid and solid, and the layer …

The original Handbook of Surface and Interface Analysis: Methods for Problem-Solving was
based on the authors' firm belief that characterization and analysis of surfaces should be …

Lubricant starvation of the contact can occur in high-speed oil or grease lubricated bearings
resulting in reduced elastohydrodynamic (EHL) film thickness (Lubricat. Sci. 11 (1999) 227) …
