To overcome such deficiency, the dynamic response of misaligned OEJBs subjected to the dynamic load has been studied in this paper. Based on the Reynolds equation, Euler equation, and kinetic equations, a hydrodynamic model is developed and validated to conduct the transient analysis for the OEJBs. Moreover, the modified film thickness of the misaligned OEJB is given. The partial derivative method and the finite difference method are adopted to solve the lubrication equations. The correlations of bearing characteristics such as the minimum film thickness, maximum film pressure, journal orbits, and time-varying dynamic coefficients with the misalignment and dynamic load are studied. In addition, the effects of the misalignment, rotating speed, and clearance ratio on the transient performance of OEJBs under the dynamic load are discussed in detail. The results indicate that the journal misalignment and dynamic load have a significant impact on the transient performance of OEJBs. The decrease of the film thickness caused by the journal misalignment can be aggravated by the suddenly applied load. The proposed model can provide theoretical fundament in the design and monitoring of the dynamically loaded bearing-rotor system.","PeriodicalId":20570,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part J: Journal of Engineering Tribology","volume":"os-11 1","pages":"1511 - 1531"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87189357","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Motivated by this finding as reported in the literature, in the present work, the synergistic uses of laser-created surface textures and nanolubricants have been employed to explore and improve the tribological behaviours of moderately loaded (PH = 0.5 and 0.8 GPa) point contacts operating mainly in mixed and elastohydrodynamic lubrication regimes. MoS2 and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) nanoparticles based on two nanolubricants were prepared in the laboratory to lubricate the rolling/sliding conventional and textured point contacts. Two sets of contacts (grounded discs versus lapped balls and grounded textured discs versus lapped balls) have been employed to create the geometric configuration of conventional and textured concentrated point contacts. Based on the experimental results found herein, the friction coefficient with the textured contacts reduced by 64% in the presence of MoS2-based nanolubricant as compared to the conventional point contact lubricated with the base oil; however, in the presence of polytetrafluoroethylene-based nanolubricant, this reduction has been recorded by 56%. The textured surface involving a small dimple size yielded better results than the relatively large size. Worn surfaces have been investigated and analysed using optical and scanning electron microscopy/energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy micro-images. Moreover, certain surface studies using atomic force microscope have also been conducted to understand the surface topography and associated wear mechanisms.","PeriodicalId":20570,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part J: Journal of Engineering Tribology","volume":"2 1","pages":"1471 - 1486"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85706506","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, they exhibit certain limitations such as less oxidation stability, poor cloud, and pour point characteristics. In the present study, herbal oils are used as novel antioxidants, and also the synergetic effect of nanoparticles and herbal oils are studied. The modified rice bran oil (MRBO) was formulated using rice bran oil (RBO) as base oil with optimum concentrations of additives such as ginger oil (GO), black pepper (BP) oil, and silicon dioxide nanoparticles. The wear scar diameter (WSD) was reduced significantly by 18.8% after the addition of 0.05 wt.% of SiO2 to RBO. The synergetic effect of herbal oils and SiO2 has significantly reduced the coefficient of friction (COF) of RBO by 15.5%. The oxidation stability of developed oil was also found to be better than RBO when compared to that of commercial lubricant (COM).","PeriodicalId":20570,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part J: Journal of Engineering Tribology","volume":"26 1","pages":"1712 - 1720"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89128999","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It initially investigates separately each effect on the static characteristics of a TPJB and after, the concomitant influence of both mechanisms on the bearing performance. The study reveals both mechanisms of direct injection and pivot deflection affect the lubricant pressure and temperature distribution. Direct injection is a local effect, mainly influencing the pressure around the injection orifice and the temperature downward it. Pivot flexibility reduces the lubricant pressure and the temperature rise, as the film thickness increases with pivot deflection. For soft pivots, direct injection may reduce even further the lubricant temperature. As the pivot stiffness reduces, the journal displacement increases, but the drag torque is reduced, indicating that bearing mechanical efficiency may be increased if the tilting pads are supported on flexible pivots, whether the journal displacement is within acceptable bounds. Each considered mechanism in a TPJB may affect its performance and should be modeled accordingly.","PeriodicalId":20570,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part J: Journal of Engineering Tribology","volume":"31 1","pages":"1487 - 1510"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91246002","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A theoretical model considering the geometry parameters and mode shape is established to obtain the running performance of surface-textured ultrasonic levitation bearing, which is solved by using eight-point discrete grid finite-difference method. Influence of driving voltage, rotational speed, eccentricity ratio, texture position, and texture size parameters on load capacity is investigated systematically.

Cutting tool wear impacts not just tool life but also the quality of the final product in terms of dimensional accuracy and surface integrity. High mechanical and thermal loads are generated during drilling operations of difficult-to-cut materials such as Ti-6Al-4V alloy which can reduce the life of cutting tool during chip formation process. Thus, to increase the accuracy of drilled parts from titanium alloy Ti6-Al-4V, the cutting tool wear during drilling operations should be accurately predicted in order to be minimized. Application of virtual machining systems is developed in the study in order to predict and minimize the cutting tool wear during drilling operations of titanium alloy Ti-6Al-4V. To predict the tool wear during drilling operations, cutting forces and temperature are calculated. Then, the finite element method (FEM) is utilized to predict the tool wear using the analytical model of Takeyama–Murata and updating the cutting tool geometry during chip formation process. To minimize the cutting tool wear during drilling operations, the optimum drilling parameters of feed rate and spindle speed are obtained using the Taguchi method-based response surface analysis algorithm. As a result, optimized drilling parameters are used in order to minimize the cutting tool wear during drilling operations. To validate the study, the experimental works are implemented to the sample workpiece from titanium alloy Ti6-Al4-V and the values of tool wear are then measured. To present the effectiveness of the proposed virtual machining system in minimization of cutting tool wear, the obtained results with and without optimized machining parameters are evaluated and compared. So, precision and productivity in drilling operations of titanium alloy Ti6-Al4-V can be enhanced using the developed virtual machining system in the study.","PeriodicalId":20570,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part J: Journal of Engineering Tribology","volume":"18 1","pages":"1250 - 1263"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81836516","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
