... mechanism. This study aims to analyze the effects and optimization of biomimetic texture parameters on the line contact tribological behavior of gear–rack mechanisms under starvation lubrication conditions. Design/methodology/approach Inspired by the microstructure of shark skin surface, a diamond...

... interfaces are subjected to line contacts, which were traditionally handled as two-dimensional (2D) problems with smooth or stochastically rough surfaces. The elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) in line contacts was presented by Petrusevich (1951) . Then, researchers proposed various prediction formulae...

... lubrication (EHL) to improve the design of internal gearings. Design/methodology/approach An existing numerical EHL model is used for studying the characteristic properties of a hard conformal EHL line contact. A hard contraformal EHL line contact is studied as reference. Non-Newtonian fluid behavior...
