... provided an optimized parameter ranking based on the signal-to-noise ratio. In addition, the lubrication regime was characterized using the Stribeck curve. Findings The results indicate that the blend of sulfurized additives with TMPTO-based oil exhibited excellent oil film strength, owing...

... to be considered. Originality/value The Stribeck curves study of the ball-disk contact friction pair comprising soft and rigid materials, whose elastic modulus is from hundreds of GPa to a few of MPa, was carried out. The influence of different speeds, loads and lubricants on the friction coefficient...

...Guangwu Zhou; Xiongwei Mi; Jiaxu Wang; Rukang Hu Purpose The research purpose of this paper is to obtain a transition process of lubrication condition of water-lubricated rubber bearing (WLRB) by investigating Stribeck curve of WLRB with either straight grooves or spiral grooves using a comparison...

... of additives to render it as suitable lubricant in sliding contact conditions. This paper also suggested an approach for selection of optimum regime of working in the light of “Stribeck Curve” for ester-containing lubricating oils. Process parameters which correspond to actual forming operation, like sliding...
