ANALYSIS OF THE SUITABILITY OF SELECTED RESEARCH METHODS TO ASSESS THE COHESION OF A DESIGNED GREASE AND ITS ADHESIVE INTERACTIONS WITH THE STEEL SURFACE
Journal Title: Tribologia - Year 2011, Vol 239, Issue 5
Abstract
The aim of this study was the selection of research methods and the evaluation of the suitability of the results of the investigation of interactions between a designed lubricant and the working surfaces of tribosystem steel elements. The research indicated that measuring tear forces, penetration and scuffing load could be used to evaluate these interactions, because there is a linear relationship between these parameters. The obtained results show that the research method can be used for comparative evaluation of grease adhesion to the surface.

ANALYSIS OF THE OIL FLOW AND LUBRICATION QUALITY ON THE POWER SHIFT OF DISC CLUTCH GEARBOXES
The study examined the oil flow openings situated inside the shaft in planes parallel and perpendicular to its axis. These holes, which different cross sections, are used to supply oil to the piston, the space between th...
THE LEVEL OF FRICTION FORCE REDUCTION IN SLIDING MOTION VERSUS THE AMPLITUDE AND FREQUENCY OF TANGENTIAL VIBRATIONS
This work presents the results of comparative analyses of the influence of tangential longitudinal and tangential transverse vibrations on friction force in sliding motion. The analyses were conducted in the function of...
RHEOLOGICAL PROPERTIES OF BIONIC LUBRICANT COMPOSITIONS
The aim of the study was to investigate the rheological properties of aqueous solutions of sodium hyaluronate (molecular weight 1.0-1.8 MDa) in 0.1, 0.5, and 1.0% w/w compositions. The tests were performed using a rotary...
AN ANALYSIS OF THE INFLUENCE OF JOURNAL’S HELICAL GROOVE ON THE WEAR AND LOAD CAPACITY OF THE SLIDING BEARING
The article presents the results of a sliding bearing with a helical groove on a journal. The studies included wear tests with contaminated lubrication oil and computer simulation of oil flow based on which the load capa...
