The effect of surface grooves on transition to mixed lubrication
Zapletal, Tomáš ; Hartl, Martin (referee) ; Šperka, Petr (advisor)
The purpose of this diploma thesis is to describe the influence of artificially produced surface grooves on transition from full EHL regime to mixed lubrication in point contact using optical interferometry. This article focuses on influences of grooves orientation, length in contact area, elastic properties of contact surfaces and different types of oil defined by pressure-viscosity coefficient. Empirical prediction model of groove influence on film thickness was established based on experimental data. The groove influence was incorporated into lubrication parameter. This modified definition was compared to classic one. It showed that avoiding groove influence in classic definition lead to significant underestimation. Influence of groove on friction coefficient is also studied.
