...Yueyong Wang; Yimin Zhang Purpose The purpose of this paper is to study the influence of dimple textures on the friction and wear properties of tapered roller bearings (TRBs) with many pattern parameters, e.g. diameter, depth and area density under starved lubrication. Design/methodology...

...Faarih Farhan Mohd Nasir; Jaharah A. Ghani; Mohd Shahir Kasim; Wan Fathul Hakim W. Zamri Purpose This research aims to present the characteristics of dimple structure which was fabricated using a turning machine, where the characteristics include sizes, shapes, area ratio and aspect ratio...

...Binbin Su; Wei Huang; Xiaolei Wang Purpose This paper aims to experimentally investigate the elastic deformation behavior of surface texture in soft contacts under lubricated condition. Design/methodology/approach Dimples with two typical distribution patterns are fabricated on the contacting...

...Chenchun Shi; Aibing Yu; Jianzhao Wu; Weiyang Niu; Yanlin Wang Purpose The study aims to compare tribological properties between laser dimple textured surface and drilled dimple textured surface, and to analyze the influence of dimple hardened edges and ability of trapping wear debris on wear...
