A number of inevitable factors distort the liner circular bore, resulting in asymmetry of piston
ring-liner (PRL) contact in the circumferential direction. The limited conformability of a piston …

Recent experiments have shown that automotive piston-liner friction may be reduced by up
to 50% if the surface of the liner is laser textured with certain configurations of micro-pockets …

This paper aims to investigate the wear and lubrication behaviors of wet Cu-based friction
pairs. A mixed lubrication model in plane contacts is developed, and the tests of pin-on-disk …

The coupling of Reynolds and Rayleigh-Plesset equations has been used in several works
to simulate lubricated devices considering cavitation. The numerical strategies proposed so …

Purpose This paper aims to numerically investigate the surface texturing effects on the main
bearings of a three-cylinder ethanol engine in terms of the power loss and friction coefficient …

Friction is a crucial parameter in tribological applications such as power transmission,
crankshafts, gears, cams, bearings, and other rotating machine parts or components. Due to …

The lubrication performance of roughness compression ring-cylinder liner system (CRCL)
with axial-asymmetric new/worn compression ring and out-of-round cylinder liner is studied …

The influence of strain rate on the frictional behaviour of AA7075 aluminium alloy, in the O-
annealed temper state, was studied. Attention was focused on the evaluation of the …

This study investigates a new fast algorithm to solve the tangential velocity slip problem for
infinitely long device (1-dimensional Reynolds equation). Solution of the Reynolds equation …

The behaviour of a thin fluid film with a new slip/no slip model (The double parameter slip
DPS) on a part of the boundary is studied. From the Stokes equations, the convergence of …
