Surface texturing and solid lubricants have demonstrated the ability to substantially reduce
friction and wear under dry conditions. In recent decades, these two technologies have been …

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

Surface texturing has gained great attention in the tribological community since precisely
defined surface features can help to reduce friction and/or wear irrespective of the acting …

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 …

Surface textures with micro-scale feature dimensions still hold great potential to enhance the
frictional performance of tribological systems. Apart from the ability of surface texturing to …

Surface textures have been of great interest within the tribology community with nearly 1500
papers published on this topic in the past two decades. With the pursuit of low emissions …

Surface texturing has been frequently used for tribological purposes in the last three
decades due to its great potential to reduce friction and wear. Although biological systems …

The tribological behavior of steel sliding pairs with dimples ranging from 15 to 800 µm in
diameter was characterized in the mixed lubrication regime in a pin-on-disk experiment. The …

A growing interest is given to the textured hydrodynamic lubricated contacts. The use of
textured surfaces with different shapes of microcavities (textures) and at different locations of …

We report experimental and numerical investigations of the friction characteristics of
microtextured surfaces. The textures are of size 28–257μm on stainless steel surfaces …
