Operating limits for acoustic measurement of rolling bearing oil film thickness
, Tribology Transactions, Vol: 47, Pages: 366-375, ISSN: 1040-2004An 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: 1359-6454The 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>
