Tribology and the Human Evolution
12.08.2019 Aydar Akchurin

Tribology, not a common household word, is the science of wear, friction, and lubrication, studying how interacting surfaces behave in relative motion. Tribology does not work in isolation but affects a multitude of other fields […]

  • Impact of water on Grease film thickness in rolling point contacts

    26.02.2017
    In a rolling bearing, the load transmission is often accompanied by high contact stresses which may eventually lead to wear and/or fatigue. In order to ensure separation of moving parts leading to a long life, [...]
  • White etching cracks

    29.01.2018
    Today, bearing failure due to rolling contact fatigue is generally a rare occurrence, and the final achieved service life of rolling bearings is usually well in excess of the calculated rating life. There are instances, [...]
  • Rough and Smooth Particles

    Roughness of the solid particles controls the viscosity of suspension

    28.05.2018
    The internet is full of videos of people having fun running over white slime. It almost looks as if they were walking on water. But when they stand still, they slowly begin to sink. The [...]
  • After the Mystery of Rotary Lip Seals

    07.02.2017
    Lip seals compete with mechanical face seals in sealing oil or grease in rotary shaft applications. Under certain running conditions both kinds of seals can be used however, the latter ones are generally used for [...]

    ZDDP Tribofilm: Durability and Chemistry

    01.03.2017
    The classical lubrication theory suggests the use of oil to reduce wear by the development of a thin separating lubricating film. However, the trends in the industry dictate miniaturization of the mechanical devices with a [...]
