Running-in plays an important role in the steady-state performance of mechanical elements.
It is a transient process involving a complex interaction between friction, lubrication …

This paper proposes the concept of how machinery condition monitoring can be taken to the
next level, through micro-sensing of tribological phenomena occurring between contacting …

The present paper studies the occurrence of micropitting damage in gear teeth contacts. An
existing general micropitting model, which accounts for mixed lubrication conditions, stress …

Surface integrity parameters exert an enormous function on contact fatigue performance of
gears. In this paper, a gear contact fatigue life prediction model that incorporates surface …

It is inherent knowledge that rolling contact fatigue (RCF) failure of subsurface-initiated
spalls usually occur under optimum surface under heavy load. However, our previous work …

Running-in occurs in rolling-sliding contacts under mixed-friction conditions and typically
involves asperity smoothing through mild wear and plastic deformation. To improve the …

With the mounting application of carburized or case-hardening gears and higher
requirements of heavy-load, high-speed in mechanical systems such as wind turbines …

Numerous tribological contacts worldwide rely on adequate lubrication quality for proper
functionality. Despite this, there is no existing approach to accurately predict the state of …

Micropitting is a type of surface damage that occurs in rolling–sliding contacts operating
under thin oil film, mixed lubrication conditions, such as those formed between meshing …

Accurate wear measurement is an important task. In this paper, measurements of wear
levels within the limits of the original surface topography using profilometric methods were …
