    Scratch damage of polymers in nanoscale

    , Acta Materialia, Vol: 52, Pages: 431-443, ISSN: 1359-6454

    Recent advances in nanoscience and nanotechnology have led to the development of miniaturized devices and components based on polymeric materials. These polymeric components and devices are subject to surface damage in the nanoscale range. Since the surface properties of polymers may be different from those of the bulk, techniques that focus on nanoscale surface damage have been applied to correlate surface damage with material characteristics and surface roughness of epoxies, polycarbonate, and polymethylmethacrylate. Under a constant loading and constant scratch rate testing condition, the results suggest that surface damage encountered is mainly material specific. Surface roughness plays little or no role in surface damage formed during the course of this study. Material characteristics influence the damage occurred when varying the penetration depth. Such variations can be assessed in terms of elastic recovery, damage pattern and damage mechanism. The variations in scratch head geometry, which, in turn, lead to the variations in magnitude of stress and stress field distribution, give rise to various scratch features on the polymer. © 2003 Acta Materialia Inc.

    CFD analysis of a low friction pocketed PAD bearing

    , Pages: 737-747

    A commercial CFD code has been applied to model lubricant flow behaviour within 2D and 3D linear pad bearings having closed pockets or recesses. The study indicates that the presence of closed pockets can result in a significant reduction in bearing friction coefficient. At high convergence ratios, no cavitation is predicted within the pockets. This means that suitably-positioned pockets in the high-pressure region of the bearing result in a much greater reduction in local shear stress than in local pressure, so that there is an overall reduction in friction coefficient. At low convergence ratios, cavitation occurs in the inlet to the pockets so that each pocket acts an effectively-independent step bearing. This results in the overall bearing supporting a higher load and thus having lower friction coefficient than is the case without pockets. Copyright © 2004 by ASME.

    Operating limits for acoustic measurement of rolling bearing oil film thickness

    , Tribology Transactions, Vol: 47, Pages: 366-375, ISSN: 1040-2004

    An ultrasonic pulse striking a thin layer of liquid trapped between solid bodies will be partially reflected. The proportion reflected is a function of the layer stiffness, which in turn depends on the film thickness and its bulk modulus. In this work, measurements of reflection have been used to determine the thickness of oil films in elastohydrodynamic lubricated (EHL) contacts. A very thin liquid layer behaves like a spring when struck by an ultrasonic pulse. A simple quasi-static spring model can be used to determine the proportion of the ultrasonic waves reflected. Experiments have been performed on a model EHL contact between a ball and a flat surface. A transducer is mounted above the contact such that the ultrasonic wave is focused onto the oil film. The reflected signals are captured and passed to a PC for processing. Fourier analysis gives the reflection spectrum that is then used to determine the stiffness of the liquid layer and hence its thickness. In further testing, an ultrasonic transducer has been mounted in the housing of a deep-groove ball bearing to measure the film generated at the outer raceway as each ball passes. Results from both the ball-flat and ball bearing measurements agree well with steady-state theoretical EHL predictions. The limits of the measuring technique, in terms of the measurable rolling bearing size and operating parameters, have been investigated.

    On tearing of ductile polymer films using the essential work of fracture (EWF) method

    , Acta Materialia, Vol: 51, Pages: 4929-4938, ISSN: 1359-6454

    The essential work of fracture (EWF) technique has been well established and accepted for the fracture characterization of ductile polymer films under in-plane (mode I) loading. In the present study, the technique has been further developed for the characterization of out-of-plane (mode III) tearing fracture of some ductile polymer films including PETG (polyethylene-terephthalate-glycol), PP homopolymer (H0) and a PP copolymer (C1). A two-zone model was proposed to describe the deformation and fracture behaviour of the tearing ligament. In the first zone, which is called zone A and is adjoining the initial crack-tip, the outer plastic zone height increases with the torn ligament length. At the end of zone A, the height of the plastic zone has saturated, and the deformation has entered zone B. The height of the outer plastic zone remains constant with further increase of torn ligament length. The zone B model is applicable to films with a large stabilized plastic zone (such as H0 and C1). It is observed that the tearing specific essential fracture work as measured from the zone A and zone B models are similar confirming the EWF concept can be applied to the mode III out-of-plane tearing of polymer films. © 2003 Acta Materialia Inc.

    The half-wetted bearing. Part 1: Extended Reynolds equation

    , Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part J: Journal of Engineering Tribology, Vol: 217, Pages: 1-14, ISSN: 1350-6501

    <jats:p> Recent research has shown that, when a liquid is partially wetting or non-wetting against a very smooth solid surface, the conventional no-slip boundary condition can break down. Under such circumstances, the Reynolds equation is no longer applicable. In the current paper, the Reynolds equation is extended to consider the sliding, hydrodynamic lubrication condition where the lubricant has a no-slip boundary condition against the moving solid surface but can slip at a critical shear stress against the stationary surface. It is shown that such a ‘half-wetted’ bearing is able to combine good load support resulting from fluid entrainment with very low friction due to very low or zero Couette friction. </jats:p>
